该硕士课程以生物工程，生命科学和相关物理科学的研究生水平为基础。<br>生物医学工程课程由德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校和德克萨斯大学达拉斯西南医学中心（UT Southwestern）联合提供。 。两个机构的生物，工程，数学，物理和医学科学各个部门的研究和教学工作都通过生物工程研究生研究委员会进行协调。该计划的目标是为学生做好准备，以从事生物工程职业，这些职业需要在工业，医院，教育和医疗机构的研究设施以及政府监管机构的各种环境中进行研究，开发和教学的技能。实习旨在为学生进一步为生物工程行业的职业做好准备。
The department offers programs leading to Master (M.S./M.Eng.) and Ph.D. degrees, each of which is tailored to fulfill the varying educational needs of its graduate students. Both programs offer the students a significant amount of additional breadth and depth over a B.S. degree. The coursework requirements for a Ph.D. and a Master degree are similar, but the Ph.D. program involves a substantially larger amount of research than the M.S./M.Eng. program. Master degrees commonly require 1-1.5 years to complete while students usually spend 4-5 years in the PhD program. It is not required to have completed a Master degree prior to obtaining a Ph.D. Admissions requirements are the same for all graduate programs.<br><br>The Biomedical Engineering Department offers two different routes for Master's degrees: (1) The Master of Science (M.S.) is a Master's degree that requires a thesis and (2) the Master of Engineering (M.Eng) is a non-thesis Master's degree. The M.Eng. is generally recommended for students who do not plan further graduate studies. Pursuing a M.S. is advised for students who have a strong interest in research or plan to obtain a higher graduate degree. In addition to the traditional M.S./M.Eng. programs in BME, the department also offers a M.Eng. degree in Biomedical Engineering Data Science. This degree focuses on the data aspects commonly found in the life sciences with specific applications to the biomedical field.
