In 1963, Clemson University established its first graduate program in bioengineering. Indeed, the past 50 years are highlighted by distinctive success stories, new degree programs and buildings, substantial expansion to Greenville and Charleston, and unprecedented growth in the student body, faculty, and staff. Themed What’s Next?, our strategy for the next decade embraces culture change.
For 50 years, our graduates have led biomedical research and technological enterprise. Our platform for educating these leaders has been a culture focused on discovery and innovation. We are proud supporters of the Society For Biomaterials, which originated at Clemson, and the Biomedical Engineering Society, our professional association. We continue to provide leadership in the fields of biomaterials and medical technology through seminal scholarship, novel research outcomes, national awards, and patents and licenses.
Our education and research partnerships with the Greenville Health System and the Medical University of South Carolina have developed vigorous, innovative education models in bioengineering. These nurture a cadre of well-trained leaders who can develop, implement, and market innovative scientific and technological knowledge. The Clemson University Biomedical Engineering Innovation Campus (CUBEInC), at the center of Greenville Health System Clinical University, provides the essential environment for developing clinically relevant technology to improve patient care and disease diagnosis.
Our recently approved Master’s in Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering program and new certificate in “Medical Device Recycling and Reprocessing” further exemplify our dedication to economic development through superior intellectual engagement.
We remain committed to education and look forward to partnering with you in an exciting journey.
