PhD in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

The doctoral program in Biomedical Engineering allows specialization in biomechanics of injury, instrumentation, imaging, biomaterials and tissue engineering, or computational and systems biology. It is open to part-time and full-time students on research or non-research tracks. Applicants need an undergraduate or master's degree in biomedical engineering or a related field, a strong grade record, three recommendation letters and a statement of research interests. Current master's students must show completed program credits and a faculty member willing to advise. International applicants submit a credential evaluation and English test scores. Applications are due early in the year for funding consideration. The department decides most admissions shortly after the application deadline. Prospective students may request graduate program information, begin an application or speak with a graduate coordinator, and the page links to information on the Graduate School's own requirements.
