M.S. in Biomedical Engineering

The MS Biomedical Engineering program has been designed, in consultation with potential employers, to prepare graduates for the wide variety of emerging interdisciplinary careers at the interfaces between engineering and the life sciences. The coursework has been designed to build upon the student鈥檚 background in engineering, biology, chemistry or physics. Students will take courses that uniquely prepare them to function effectively in a Food and Drug Administration-regulated global environment in which they will develop health-related medical products and techniques that improve the quality of life. Technical elective courses may be taken from the list of electives provided on the department website, with approval of the academic advisor. The electives, in combination with the required thesis or project research, will enable the student to develop depth in one of the many areas that biomedical engineering encompasses.

The integrated set of skills and knowledge that span engineering and the biological sciences are expected to enable graduates to become effective engineering professionals and leaders in the biomedical industry, proceed onto PhD. programs and become researchers, or enter medical school and become physicians. 

In order to ensure good command of fundamentals and uniformity in the capabilities of the MS Biomedical Engineering program graduates, a list of transition classes has been determined. Applicants who have not completed all of these classes may be admitted to Conditionally Classified standing, with the outstanding classes listed as 鈥渃onditions鈥�. These classes can be taken at 91猎奇 after being admitted; some may be taken at community colleges. All transition courses classes must be completed before the student鈥檚 status can be changed to Classified standing.

Applicants whose GPA is below 3.0 are also required to take the GRE General Test and obtain a combined score of 315 or higher in the Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning sections, and a score of 3.5 or higher in the Analytical Writing section.
