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 behavior in relation to cellular processes like growth and adhesion, to developing personalized modeling approaches for predicting biomechanical conditions in living organisms. At the University of Utah, faculty members investigate diverse biomechanical subjects including: molecular biomechanics, cellular biophysics, mechanotransduction, computational modeling, blood flow dynamics, mechanobiology, medical device development, soft tissue mechanics (involving arteries, cartilage, ligaments), eye biomechanics, orthopedic applications, cardiovascular systems, tissue engineering, and brain injury mechanisms. With extensive biomechanics research involving multiple departments, the university fosters collaborative, cross-disciplinary initiatives with experts from the College of Engineering, College of Science, Huntsman Cancer Institute, School of Medicine, and the Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute. The Biomechanics program equips students with robust quantitative training in engineering mechanics, physiology, and medical sciences, preparing them equally for academic or industrial career paths.

Qualification Requirements
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)
Unofficial Transcripts for Applicants: Unofficial copies of transcripts from all colleges and universities attended should be uploaded into the AY system at the time of application. For foreign institutions, include transcripts in the original language, plus official English translations if the original language is not English.
GRE Scores: Test scores are generally required for the graduate program.
Letters of Reference: We require at least three letters of personal reference from course instructors, research supervisors, or employers who are familiar with your abilities and performance.
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.
