The University of Memphis' Department of Biomedical Engineering collaborates with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center's Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering in a Joint Graduate Program for Biomedical Engineering. This combined initiative provides both Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree options in Biomedical Engineering. Study concentrations include: biomaterials and drug delivery, biomechanics, biosensor technology, cardiopulmonary systems, cellular and tissue engineering, electrophysiology, medical imaging, and orthopedic biomechanics.
This UofM-UTHSC collaborative graduate program features both thesis and non-thesis Master's tracks alongside doctoral studies. By combining UofM's engineering and scientific resources with UTHSC's medical and clinical expertise, the program delivers comprehensive educational opportunities.
A Baccalaureate or Master’s Degree: The applicant must provide an official transcript showing an earned bachelor’s or master’s degree, depending on program requirements. In cases, where a program’s accrediting body allows alternate admissions standards, exceptions may be made. If you are a UofM undergraduate student applying to Graduate School at UofM, you do not need to request that an official transcript be sent to Graduate Admissions. This office has access to your transcript. The degree must have been awarded by an accredited college or university. Only transcripts received directly from an issuing institution are considered official. Personal copies are not acceptable as official documents.
GPA: The applicant must have earned an acceptable grade point average, typically a minimum of 2.5 on a scale of 4.0, but departments may make exceptions for students whose overall GPA does not adequately reflect their ability to succeed in their chosen field.
International students must provide evidence of English Language Proficiency.
