Biomedical engineering applies engineering techniques to address challenges in healthcare and life sciences. This specialized field is pursued by engineers who focus on medical and biological applications. It merges core biomedical science concepts with sophisticated engineering analysis and design approaches, uniting these disciplines to develop innovative medical equipment, employ engineering principles for understanding and restoring human physiology and other biological structures, and utilize engineering methodologies for efficient decision-making and cost management.
The interdisciplinary graduate program provides pathways to earn either a Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy in biomedical engineering. The Biomedical Engineering Department appeals to students aiming to work in engineering or conduct research within medical and biological engineering specialties. Students collaborate with faculty advisors to create personalized academic plans. The department's instructors and associated professors represent diverse colleges and professional schools across the university.
International applicants must have a degree comparable to a regionally accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree.
