MA/MS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at University Park offers a master of science that combines graduate training in engineering with the life sciences and medical sciences. Graduates are expected to be able to apply engineering principles to basic biological questions, clinical problems, or the creation of new biomedical instruments. Research opportunities cover the electrical, mechanical, and biophysical behavior of biological materials, and how this knowledge explains processes in cells, tissues, and organs during health and disease. Applications range from artificial organs and biomaterials to imaging, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Graduates should publish scholarly papers in refereed journals and share findings at conferences, supported by computing resources and specialized equipment for combining experiments with mathematical modeling. Prospective students should consult the Penn State bulletin entry for full course lists, degree requirements, and contact details.
