As one of the first graduating classes of the BME program at LTU and a current advisory board member, I’ve experienced the full development of LTU BME program over the years. Since its inception, the BME program has offered small class sizes with some of the area’s best instructors. Feedback form industry personnel and alumni outside the program, have continuously helped to grow, shape, and improve the program’s strong academic foundation.
