Master's Study in Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group (BMEGG) offers programs of study and research leading to two Master of Science degrees, Plan 1 (Thesis) and Plan 2 (Exam). The MS Plan 1 typically takes two years to complete, while the MS Plan 2 can be completed in 1 year. Each student, together with an advisor, defines a specific course of study suited to individual goals. The programs of study prepare students for professional work in the effective integration of engineering with medical and biological sciences. Additional information is available at Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group.

Preparation

The BMEGG curriculum requires strong competence in mathematics, engineering, and biology for successful completion of study. Prior course work in these areas is emphasized in the evaluation of applications, though some undergraduate training can be acquired after admission to the BMEGG. For additional information, see Academic Preparation.

Degree Requirements & Program Coordinator

Current degree requirements and program contacts are maintained at Biomedical Engineering.

Courses

See Biomedical Engineering (BIM). Elective coursework will be selected with a Graduate Advisor to define a specific course of study suited to individual goals.

Research Focus Areas

Research strengths lie in the areas of: biomaterials & devices; biomechanics & mechanobiology; biomedical imaging & biophotonics; computational & synthetic biology; engineering education; molecular, cellular & tissue engineering; and neuroengineering & bioelectricity.
