Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering (M.S. Program)

Program specialization at the master's degree level may be undertaken in five areas, including transportation-related trauma, age-related injuries and rehabilitation engineering, smart sensors and engineering neurophysiology, biomedical imaging, and tissue engineering and biomaterials. These specializations are available to both part-time and full-time students, in either research or non-research degree programs

Admission to this program is contingent upon admission to the Graduate School; for requirements, see Admission, Regular. In addition, applicants must have a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent, earned at an accredited college or university, as well as the preliminary preparation and ability to pursue graduate study in this discipline. Students who have a baccalaureate degree or an advanced degree in a non-engineering discipline (e.g., life science) will be considered for admission to the program on a case-by-case basis. Regular admission may be authorized if the applicant's undergraduate grade point average is 3.0 or above. All applicants are expected to submit a one-page statement of purpose along with their application, describing their interest in biomedical engineering. It is recommended that applicants also submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores; these scores are required for students applying for financial support. An Application for Admission, with application fee and official transcripts from each college attended, is required before any student may register for graduate study. The applicant must take any entrance examinations specified by the Office of Admissions, the College, or the Program.
