Cardiovascular engineering is a field encompassing diverse subjects tied to the cardiovascular system's operations, disease processes, and therapeutic solutions. This discipline bridges fundamental science with clinical applications, operating across scales from molecular interactions to whole-body systems. Investigations in cardiovascular engineering explore fundamental biological processes while creating diagnostic tools, treatments, and medical devices that significantly improve patient outcomes for heart conditions. Although diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities have advanced considerably, cardiovascular disorders continue to be the primary mortality factor in industrialized nations. Cardiovascular engineering research employs cutting-edge methodologies including molecular biology, biomedical instrumentation, multi-modal imaging, computational analysis, artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling, and advanced computing systems. This multidisciplinary approach provides graduate students with comprehensive training in physiology, cardiac pathology, and medical technology, preparing them exceptionally well for academic or industrial careers. The curriculum integrates foundational coursework from multiple departments with specialized instruction and hands-on laboratory work. Given Utah's strong research focus in cardiovascular engineering, students benefit from exceptional opportunities to collaborate with leading specialists and participate in cross-disciplinary research initiatives alongside fellow investigators and trainees.

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.
