Program Overview
Program Information
The Master’s degree (thesis or nonthesis) requires at least 30 semester hours. The Doctoral degree requires at least 90 semester credit hours beyond the bachelor’s degree. No more than 30 hours of a master’s degree from another institution will be transferred to the Ph.D. degree. If a student holds a master’s degree in a discipline different from the doctoral program, the master’s work will not be counted toward the doctoral degree unless the BME Department successfully petitions the Dean of the Graduate School. Requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog.
Degrees Offered with a Major in Biomedical Engineering
- Doctor of Philosophy
- without a concentration
- concentration in Clinical and Translational Science
- Master of Engineering
- Master of Science
