Wake Forest and Virginia Tech Join Forces in Biomedical Engineering

Virginia Tech and Wake Forest University officials recently announced the two schools will jointly operate a biomedical engineering and science school. The Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences is expected to sponsor collaborative research and offer advanced degrees in biomedical engineering. It will have classes at both campuses. "This is a natural partnership between Virginia Tech, with no human medical school, and Wake Forest, with no engineering school," said Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger. Elaine Scott, director of Virginia Tech's Center for Biomedical Engineering who proposed the program, said she expects about 80 students to join within five years.
