The Biomedical Engineering program takes an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to advance the knowledge of its graduates toward developing an understanding of fundamental issues at the interface of engineering, biology, and medicine. Students will learn about the evolutionary process, focusing on how living things function and how several branches of engineering and science are interconnect
ed in these processes. Biomedical Engineering has the potential to improve human health through cross-disciplinary research and application that integrate the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice. This program builds knowledge, skills, and critical thinking necessary to further new discoveries in tissue regeneration, biomaterials, biologically inspired materials, tissue engineering, physiological measurements, bioelectronics, biomechanics, bioMEMS, wireless communications in cells, biosensing, biorobotics, biosignaling, ergonomics and associated interfaces.

Dual Degrees
The department offers the opportunity to acquire
dual graduate degrees along with the M.S. Candidates for these dual
Master’s Degree programs are typically required to
complete a total of 48-52 credit hours to satisfy the
requirements of two Master’s Degrees. This implies 15-19 credit hours in addition to
the 34 hours required for the M.S. Program Core
Students in the Biomedical Engineering
graduate program must earn 34 credits. While 28 credits are earned by taking classes,
six credits are earned by completing a team-based,
publishable graduate-level research project. The core curriculum accounts for 16 credits.
