MA/MS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering applies tools from mechanical, materials, electrical and chemical engineering to problems in human health and living systems. The program is rigorous and hands-on, giving students engineering depth alongside physiology and biological sciences so graduates can contribute to the biomedical field. Applicants submit a transcript, a CV or resume, a personal statement describing their background and motivation, and three letters of recommendation. GRE scores are not required. Graduate applicants apply through Cal State Apply, and international applicants must also demonstrate English proficiency under the university requirements. The program is taught on the San Luis Obispo campus of Cal Poly and is described in the 2026-2028 academic catalog, which sets out the admission rules, the culminating experience and the learning objectives students are expected to meet.
