Program Overview

The Biomedical Engineering Department offers two different routes for Master degrees: (1) The Master of Science (M.S.) is a Master’s degree that requires a thesis and (2) the Master of Engineering (M.Eng) is a non-thesis Master’s.  The M.Eng. is generally recommended for students who do not plan further graduate studies. Pursuing an M.S. is advised for students who have a strong interest in research. The Master’s thesis should contribute new knowledge to the field of study and is reviewed by the Master’s committee and submitted to the OGE for review.

Students pursuing a Master’s degree must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours. The minimum number of credits for coursework for an M.S. is 21 and 30 for an M.Eng. At least 3 BME classes at the 6000 level are required for the coursework and no more than two classes at the 4000 level can be included. Additionally, one course in the life sciences (biology or physiology) and one course in advanced math/statistics are required. In consultation with their adviser, students must develop a Plan of Study that satisfactorily meets Institute requirements and Departmental requirements.

In addition to the traditional M.S./M.Eng. programs in BME, the department also offers a M.Eng. degree in Biomedical Engineering Data Science.  This degree focuses on the data aspects commonly found in the life sciences with specific applications to the biomedical field.  The M.Eng. in Biomedical Engineering Data Science also requires 30 credits of coursework, like the BME M.Eng. degree, but the coursework requirements are different.
