The Fischell Department of Bioengineering's graduate program embodies the robust interdisciplinary framework and cooperative environment that bridges engineering, life sciences, and medical disciplines at our institution. Our curriculum establishes fundamental bioengineering principles at molecular and cellular scales, with emphasis on: biomolecular interactions and cellular kinetics, advanced biomaterials and regenerative medicine, pharmaceutical delivery systems, biomechanical properties of cells and tissues, cellular electrical activity, transport mechanisms in biological systems, diagnostic imaging technologies, biosensing platforms, clinical diagnostic tools, biomedical instrumentation, and immunization technologies. The Master of Science degree is designed for learners seeking to deepen their bioengineering expertise through investigative work that extends beyond undergraduate offerings. Consequently, the M.S. program combines rigorous academic study with a structured research initiative, concluding with a comprehensive thesis.
Admission to the Graduate Program in Bioengineering requires a Bachelor’s degree in a science or engineering discipline from an accredited undergraduate institution. Applicants with degrees in non-engineering disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, physics, or mathematics, are expected to have the following prerequisite courses: Calculus I, II, III; Differential Equations; and Thermodynamics. These courses would ideally have been completed by the time of application, but they may also be in progress.
