Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary program offered by the College of Engineering. The program culminates in the Master of Science. In this research-oriented program, advanced scientific and engineering techniques are utilized to address modern problems in medicine and biology.The interdisciplinary graduate program in biomedical engineering combines core coursework with focused areas of proficiency that allow you more in-depth exposure to your areas of particular interest. The program's introductory course is team-taught by biomedical engineering faculty from a range of disciplines and outside lecturers are invited to give students a broad exposure to the field.<br>You can earn an M.S. in biomedical engineering with a focus on either bioinstrumentation, prosthetic devices, bioelectromagnetics, nanobiotechnology, engineering approaches to integrative cancer biology or computational biology. The master's degree program offers courses that cover the theory and design fundamentals at multiple scales of biological processes, function and instrumentation.<br>You can choose from two degree options:<br>Plan A: Requires core and specialized coursework and a thesis on an area of interest in biomedical engineering.<br>Plan B: The coursework-only option requires additional coursework credits in lieu of a thesis. Students choosing this option will not be eligible for graduate assistantships.
