The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is awarded in strict conformity with the general requirements of the School of Engineering. At least 28 approved units must be satisfactorily completed, of which at least 19 units must be at the 500 level or above, and four units must be thesis BME 594abz. The master's program provides students with a broad background, linking physiology with engineering science, necessary for entering interdisciplinary careers in medical technology or pursuing further graduate studies in a related field. The entrance requirements are identical to those for admission to the existing program for the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering. The objective of the Doctor of Philosophy is to produce independent investigators who can make original scholarly contributions and apply advanced engineering concepts and techniques to the understanding and solution of biomedical problems.
