The bachelor's program at MIT was ranked #1 on College Factual's Best Schools for bio engineering list. It is also ranked #1 in Massachusetts.
During the 2020-2021 academic year, Massachusetts Institute of Technology handed out 49 bachelor's degrees in biomedical engineering. This is a decrease of 2% over the previous year when 50 degrees were handed out.
In 2021, 3 students received their master’s degree in bio engineering from MIT. This makes it the #127 most popular school for bio engineering master’s degree candidates in the country.
In addition, 36 students received their doctoral degrees in bio engineering in 2021, making the school the #2 most popular school in the United States for this category of students.
Bio Engineering majors who earn their bachelor's degree from MIT go on to jobs where they make a median salary of $46,651 a year. This is less than $55,043, which is the national median of all bio engineering majors in the nation who earn bachelor's degrees.
While getting their bachelor's degree at MIT, bio engineering students borrow a median amount of $13,000 in student loans. This is not too bad considering that the median debt load of all bio engineering bachelor's degree recipients across the country is $23,495.
