Biomedical Engineering (MS)

Master’s Degree

In consultation with an appointed faculty adviser, M.S. students should select a program of 30 points of credit of graduate courses (4000-level or above) appropriate to their career goals. This program must include the course in computational modeling of physiological systems (BMEN E6003 COMP MODELING-PHYSIOL SYSTEMS); two semesters of BMEN E9700 BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING SEMINAR; at least four other biomedical engineering courses where BM is in its call letters; and at least one graduate-level course in the Applied Mathematics department. Up to 6 credits of BMEN E9100 MASTERS RESEARCH may be taken to fulfill degree requirements. Up to 3 credits of coursework outside of SEAS may count toward the MS degree. Students with deficiency in physiology coursework are required to take the BMEN E4001 QUANTITATIVE PHYSIOLOGY I-BMEN E4002 QUANT PHYSIOLOGY II:ORGAN SYST sequence before taking BMEN E6003 COMP MODELING-PHYSIOL SYSTEMS. Candidates must achieve a minimum grade-point average of 2.5. A thesis based on experimental, computational, or analytical research is optional. Students wishing to pursue the Master’s Thesis option are required to complete 6 credits of BMEN E9100 MASTERS RESEARCH and consult with their BME faculty adviser.

MS concentrations are not required. The following grouped courses are a useful guide for students who wish to focus their studies in a particular Biomedical Engineering topic. If a student chooses to declare a concentration, the requirements for these elective concentrations are identical to those of the standard track (including BMEN E6003 COMP MODELING-PHYSIOL SYSTEMS, Applied Math, BMEN E9700 BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING SEMINAR, four BMEN courses, three SEAS courses, and one 3 credit SEAS/non-SEAS course), with one exception: students must take at least 12 credits from a list of track-specific courses.
