Qualification Requirements
The program is designed primarily for students who have received four-year baccalaureate degrees in engineering, but students from other baccalaureate degree programs may qualify for the program. The undergraduate curriculum should include courses in calculus through differential equations, biology, and anatomy, as well as in-depth training in engineering or the physical sciences. Some formal training in the biological sciences is also desirable. Students wishing to pursue a degree in biomedical engineering but who have not had substantial training in engineering or the physical sciences at the undergraduate level may be admitted to the program, but would be expected to remedy any deficiencies, usually during the year before desired entry term. Students for whom English is not a native language are strongly urged to come to Rochester early, in order to prepare for the first-year program.
