Undergraduate EnMed Brown Scholars must earn a Bachelor of Science from a Texas A&M College of Engineering degree program (including engineering, interdisciplinary engineering and computer science).

EnMed is a collaboration between Texas A&M College of Engineering, Texas A&M College of Medicine and Houston Methodist Hospital. EnMed graduates receive a Master of Engineering and MD degrees in four years. This first-in-the-nation program blends experiential learning in engineering innovation with medical school training to create a new kind of doctor, a “physicianeer” with the goal of transforming health care for humanity.
