Biomechanics is an expansive discipline focused on utilizing engineering mechanics principles across various scales to explore biological and medical systems. Research areas span from analyzing stress effects on cytoskeleton dynamics in relation to cell behavior, to developing personalized modeling approaches for predicting biomechanical conditions in living organisms. At the University of Utah, researchers investigate diverse biomechanical fields including molecular interactions, cellular physics, computational modeling, blood flow dynamics, medical device development, soft tissue properties, eye mechanics, orthopedic applications, cardiovascular systems, tissue regeneration, and brain injury mechanisms. With faculty members distributed across multiple departments, the university fosters extensive interdisciplinary collaborations within the College of Engineering, College of Science, Huntsman Cancer Institute, School of Medicine, and SCI Institute. The Biomechanics program equips students with robust training in engineering mechanics, human physiology, and medical sciences, preparing them for successful careers in both academic and industrial settings.

Qualification Requirements
Unofficial copies of transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
Applicants must have received, prior to commencing graduate study, a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institute, college, or university. Although no single field of undergraduate specialization is required, applicants to the program must have a thorough undergraduate background in engineering and life sciences. They are expected to have mastered basic material in the following areas:
mathematics (calculus through differential equations)
physics (college physics with calculus including mechanics and electronics)
chemistry (organic and/or biochemistry)
materials science (introductory course or strength of materials)
biology (introductory human anatomy or physiology)
All aspects of an application will be seriously considered during the evaluation process. However, typically successful applicants have a cumulative GPA that meets or exceeds ~3.5 and GRE scores of ~156 verbal, ~165 quantitative, ~4 analytical writing. International students should have a minimum composite TOEFL score of 90 on the internet-based test. However, students with composite TOEFL scores below 100 (internet-based test) may be required to enroll in English classes. The Department will also accept a minimum 7.5 IELTS score or 125 DUOLINGO score in lieu of the TOEFL.
