The admissions committee for Biomedical Engineering reviews GRE scores, performance at previous institutions/universities, at least two letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. These students are encouraged to take prerequisite courses in areas they lack. These courses include: Cell Biology, Organic Chemistry, Physiology and Differential Equations. A background is strongly recommended in: one year in undergraduate chemistry, biochemistry and/or organic chemistry, prior coursework in general biology and/or cell biology, physics, and interest in integrative studies of biological interfaces. A background in differential, integral and multivariable calculus, differential equations, undergraduate controls, and design of mechanisms and level IV statistics are also recommended. Prerequisites will vary depending on course. Students concerned about their preparation should contact the concentration coordinator or PSM program office.
