Meghan Bolt did not begin at UD as a University Studies student as many of our new admits do, instead, she worked with the program as a student in transition from one major to another. Not surprisingly, we see a lot of students that way! Meghan came to the University of Delaware as a Nursing major and recalls making that decision because she was really interested in health care and helping others. However, as she went along with the nursing curriculum, she began to realize she was far more interested in the science behind it, medical devices, and how things work as opposed to the front end of helping people face to face. Since Biomedical Engineering is a restricted major at UD, Meghan became a UST student to help her with the transition. She utilized UST academic advisors and was able to take the required pre-requisites to increase her chances gain admission to the major – and she did!

Beyond her Biomedical Engineering major, Meghan has a Spanish minor and is very involved on campus. She is involved with Greek Life, is a tour guide for the Engineering department, and has many other leadership roles, including being a Peer Liaison for the UST program.

Originally from New Jersey, Meghan loves UD because of the friends she has made so far. The beautiful campus and the variety of academic programs really drew her to the school. One day she hopes to work in medical device design and testing.

Meghan’s best advice to current UST student: “Force yourself to go outside of your comfort zone and explore everything”.
