Our department prioritizes research, with the doctoral program being our main offering. We currently do not plan to accept students into the standalone master's program for fall 2023 enrollment. For those pursuing a Ph.D. as their final degree, we highly recommend applying directly to our doctoral program - a master's degree is not a prerequisite for admission.
Within the renowned Cockrell School of Engineering, our Biomedical Engineering Department provides one of the nation's most comprehensive graduate engineering programs. Students can develop expertise across diverse fields including regenerative medicine, cellular biomechanics, computational modeling, imaging technologies, and beyond.
Our faculty actively shape global biomedical discourse, with members honored by elite institutions like the National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Medicine, and National Academy of Inventors. Their groundbreaking work in cancer therapies, drug delivery systems, computational models, immunology, imaging technologies, and basic scientific research consistently attracts funding and advances the field.
Students must have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign academic institution. A grade point average of at least 3.00 in upper-division (junior- and senior-level) coursework and in any graduate work already completed.
The minimum scores considered acceptable for admission by the Graduate School are:
TOEFL: 79 on the Internet-based test (iBT)
IELTS: An overall band of 6.5 on the Academic Examination
Application deadline: December 01 for fall
