Degrees

Biomedical Engineering Specialization Master of Engineering

The Master of Engineering – Specialization in Biomedical Engineering is a 30-credit master's degree program. This program is a coursework-only professional degree, which provides a time-effective way for students and professionals to obtain advanced training in the field of biomedical engineering.

Program Curriculum

The curriculum is divided into four different categories: Core, Foundation, Depth and Breadth. The Core and Foundation courses are designed to develop a foundation in biomedical engineering. The Depth courses allow student to gain more knowledge in a particular interest area while the Breadth course focus on advanced or applied mathematics.

Curriculum is pending approval.

Program Requirements

• Minimum of 30 equivalent semester credits including 7 credits of Core courses, 12 credits of Foundation courses, at least 8 credits in the Depth area, and 3 credits in a Breadth area.
• Seminar, thesis and independent study credits do not apply.
• Minimum of 24 semester credits earned at CSU (21 while in the graduate program).
• Minimum of 24 credits at the graduate level (courses numbered 500 or above).
• Minimum of 15 credits of biomedical engineering (BIOM) courses. Additional courses may need to be taken as a Supplemental Requirement to satisfy provisional admission requirements, course prerequisites, or supplemental coursework stipulations.
• Program of study must be approved by an advisor prior to completing 15 credits toward the degree.

Application and Admission Requirements

Historically, the minimum requirements for this program have followed the general admission requirements and policies with following adaptations:

• B.S. in engineering, life sciences or natural sciences.
• GPA of 3.0 or higher in engineering or life science courses.
• GRE score of 1100 total for the verbal and quantitative sections (approx. 550 on each section) and 4.5 on the writing assessment.
• Non-engineering majors have an additional admission requirement of Physics I and Calculus I. They must also complete math through ordinary differential equations.
