Biomedical Engineering, MS
Curriculum - Biomedical Engineering, MS
The Biomedical Engineering MS program offers 3 tracks:
Each track includes 2 options. The first specifies course requirements that include a thesis option and a second that specifies courses only. If you choose the master’s thesis option, you must register for at least 3 credits of BE 997x Ms Thesis in Biomedical Engineering, Credits: Variable and then write and defend a master’s thesis according to Institute guidelines. You will also be required to take CM 5040 Chemical Laboratory Safety, Credits: .00.
To meet graduation requirements in your chosen track, you must achieve an overall B average in all courses (including MS thesis, research, or guided studies) and must not have more than two grades of C in required (core) subjects.
