The biomedical engineering graduate program equips students with the ability to use engineering principles to solve medical challenges. This curriculum establishes a strong base in life science fundamentals, covering cellular, tissue, and physiological systems. Students can choose specialized engineering courses in areas like tissue engineering, biomechanics, medical imaging, bioMEMS, nanomaterials, bioprocessing, and control systems. Three distinct pathways are available: thesis research, design projects, or coursework-only. The thesis option involves focused research under faculty guidance, while the design track features collaborative year-long projects with industry partners or Cleveland Clinic's Medical Device Solutions team. This design-focused approach stands out in northeastern Ohio and remains rare across the country. Particularly valuable for aspiring entrepreneurs or those targeting industry positions, the design track provides practical experience. Graduates emerge ready for careers in medical technology or prepared to pursue advanced doctoral studies.
If you have successfully completed a degree equivalent to a bachelor's degree in the United States, you are considered to be a graduate student at CSU.
