The George Washington University is in the center of Washington DC. The metropolitan area sustains the second largest concentration of research and development activity in the United States, creating a continuing demand for rigorously trained engineers and many research opportunities. With the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and other agencies, laboratories, and foundations, as well as a rapidly growing biotechnology industry, the DC area is a global hub for biomedical research.

The GW Department of Biomedical Engineering consists of 11 full-time faculty, 12 affiliated and secondary faculty, and 3 adjunct faculty. Approximately 200 students are enrolled in its degree programs. The Department offers BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Biomedical Engineering. The University’s medical school and hospital, adjacent to the engineering school, are active collaborators in numerous BME research efforts. The School of Engineering and Applied Science, including BME, occupies the 500,000 square-foot Science and Engineering Hall, featuring a state-of-the art imaging facility, nanofabrication facility, and other modern BME research and instructional laboratories.
