The Department of Bioengineering at Clemson University has been widely recognized as a pioneer in the field of biomaterials science and engineering and is renowned for its leadership in biomaterials research and education. One of the oldest in the world, Clemson’s bioengineering program began in 1963 with the inception of a Doctor of Philosophy degree. A Master of Science degree was added in 1966 and a Bachelor of Science degree in 2006.
Clemson University is also known as the international birthplace of the field of “biomaterials,” the building blocks of medical devices. The Society for Biomaterials (SFB), the premier professional society in the field of bioengineering, began at Clemson in 1974.
Clemson’s Department of Bioengineering is the curator of The C. William Hall Biomaterials Documentation Center, an international database of archived documents in biomaterials. Each year, the Society For Biomaterials solicits nominations for outstanding work in the Clemson Award categories: Clemson Award for Applied Research, Clemson Award for Basic Research and Clemson Award for Contributions to the Literature. The history of these awards reflects the strong ties between the Society For Biomaterials and Clemson University over the past three decades (click here for a list of past awardees).

... and Now
In recent years, the Department of Bioengineering has experienced unprecedented growth in faculty, personnel, facilities and programs. Clemson University has strengthened its commitment to provide a unique learning environment to students and scientists-in-training by integrating state-of-the-art research with education in cardiovascular devices and implantology, orthopaedic materials, tissue engineering, hybrid systems, biophotonics, nanoscale biointerfaces, biomolecular simulations, dental biomaterials, mechanobiology and many other emerging technologies.
The department offers two graduate degrees: the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy. A minor is offered to enrolled students in engineering and life and applied sciences. A Bachelor of Science degree is offered with two concentrations: bioelectrical engineering and biomaterials engineering.
