Master's Programs

 

Biomedical Engineering Five-Year Bachelor of Science/Master of Science

The Five-year B.S./M.S. program allows qualified students to receive a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering in just five years. Students with qualifying grade-point averages enroll in the program during their junior year. They begin their thesis research the summer between their junior and senior years. Their research laboratory experience will continue during the summer between their senior and fifth years and throughout their fifth year, culminating in the preparation of a written thesis and defense.

Biomedical Engineering Master of Science (M.S.)

Upon enrolling in the Biomedical Engineering Master of Science degree program, a student selects one of six specializations: bioinstrumentation, biomechanics, biomedical imaging, cellular and molecular engineering, computational biology and bioinformatics, and rehabilitation bioengineering. Faculty will design a curriculum and research program to address the specific goals of each student. Programs will include course work in engineering, biology, mathematics and medicine, all of which will be integrated with research laboratory experience.

Certificate Program

Clinical Immersion in Medical Device Design Certificate

Students complete courses online and have hands-on practical experiences in clinical simulation centers and in-person immersive clinical environments. These experiences provide engineers a unique opportunity to observe clinical procedures, facilitate clinician-designer interactions, and gain a first-hand account of how the medical devices are meeting the needs of current users. Students will identify future unmet needs and opportunities for improved design practices, leading to safer and more successful medical devices.
