Financial support is available to highly qualified applicants.
A listing of the BioE core Courses and Area of Concentration are on the Degree Requirements for the Master's and Doctorate of Philosophy. A Doctoral student would follow a similar pathway, only requiring more Bioengineering courses and research hours. The Student would also have to take a Qualifying Exam, present a preliminary Exam and Doctoral Defense. The Department of Bioengineering has a number of faculty who are actively involved in small high technology start-up companies. These faculty span a wide range of bioengineering and biotechnology fields like medical imaging, biosensors, bioinstrumentation, biomechanics, controlled drug delivery, and bioinformatics.
