Our goal is to produce the next generation of research leaders who will lead innovation in biomedical engineering in the 21st Century. Our graduate programs provide our students with access to a vibrant, multidisciplinary community of research and learning that prepares them for their next step in life, whether that includes industry, academia, or medical practice.<br>A plan of study focused on providing each student with a strong foundation in traditional engineering and the life sciences, and a specialization in cutting-edge research applications. <br>The degree involves coursework, a candidacy exam following the first year, a comprehensive exam during the third year, and final exam upon completion of a doctoral dissertation.<br>Requirements for the Ph.D. program are typically completed within four to five years but vary depending on the scope of the research and individual education paths.<br>Our highly flexible, mentored biomedical engineering graduate program is multidisciplinary. Along with biomedical engineering faculty, courses are taught by faculty in the Eberly College of Science and the Colleges of Earth and Mineral Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
