The Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program aims to equip students with cross-disciplinary education in biological/medical sciences, physical sciences, and engineering to address challenging biomedical issues. An interdisciplinary faculty team spanning engineering, biomedical sciences, materials science, chemistry, physics, medicine, and dental medicine delivers this graduate program across UConn's Storrs campus and the Farmington-based Health Center (UCHC).
Bachelor's holders in BME are particularly well-prepared for UConn's BME master's and doctoral programs. Applicants with engineering, physical science, or math degrees may also apply. Non-engineering graduates must complete prerequisite undergraduate BME courses (BME 3500, 3600W, and 3700) - detailed in the Undergraduate Catalog. Life science and math degree holders need additional foundational coursework in engineering/mathematics (including two years through differential equations) plus the mandatory BME undergraduate courses. These undergraduate requirements don't contribute toward graduate degree completion.
