Notre Dame to launch new Department of Bioengineering

The College of Engineering is adding a new academic department in a field critical to the University’s strategic aspirations: bioengineering. This new department will meet the needs of the doctoral program and undergraduate minor, both of which have seen tremendous demand.

McGreevy, the Charles and Jill Fischer Provost
