Biomedical Engineering Program Biomedical Engineering Faculty Coursework in the BME program is an integral part of the academic experience. Students takes courses primarily during the first two years, but they are encouraged to continue taking courses during the research phase of the program.
Courses range from fundamental courses to advanced concepts.
A Minimum of 42 credits of course work is required for a Ph.D. in the Biomedical Engineering Track. At least 15 of these credits must be taken from the Core Curriculum, as required by the Graduate School. All students are required to take the Concepts in Biomedical Engineering and Integrative Physiology, and one of either Statistics, Numerical Methods or Digital Signal Processing. Twenty technical credits are required in the track and may be selected from general courses and four major areas of emphasis in biomedical Engineering, including biomedical imaging, physiology, molecular biophysics and biomechanics. Each area of emphasis may require certain courses to be taken.
