MS in Bioengineering
The bioengineering master's program has two components: an interdisciplinary core curriculum, including one class outside of students' chosen sub-specialty to increase the breadth of bioengineering knowledge; and courses required by the department for students' chosen track. Master's degrees require a minimum of 30 SHUs and the fulfillment of at least 10 courses at the 100-level or above with grades of S (satisfactory) or at least a B-.
The bioengineering master's program has six tracks:
- Bioinformatics (Computer Science)
- Biomaterials (Biomedical Engineering)
- Biomechanical Systems and Devices (Mechanical Engineering)
- Cell and Bioprocess Engineering (Chemical and Biological Engineering)
- Environmental Biotechnology (Civil and Environmental Engineering)
- Signals and Systems (Electrical and Computer Engineering)
