Biomedical Engineering - MS (Non-Thesis)

Biomedical engineering combines science, engineering and medicine, leveraging engineering principles to address outstanding healthcare problems.The Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering is committed to providing a high quality and modern education in the fundamental principles and practices of chemical and biomedical engineering. The fundamental unifying theme of chemical engineering is the study of multicomponent multiphase systems at both the molecular and macroscopic scale with particular emphasis on processes with chemical transformation, i.e., chemical reaction. The biomedical engineering emphasis in the Department builds upon the chemical engineering strength and is focused on cellular and biochemical transformations in natural and synthetic environments. An integral part of the education process involves faculty and students conducting groundbreaking and innovative research in areas of critical importance to our society. The Department seeks to prepare students for academic and professional work through classroom and laboratory instruction and research with modern experimental, mathematical, and computational tools.

A baccalaureate degree in chemical/biomedical engineering or an allied field from an accredited college or university. Depending on the students’ academic background certain undergraduate classes might have to be taken in order to handle and be successful in a chemical/biomedical engineering curriculum.

An undergraduate upper-division GPA or graduate GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher.

The GRE requirement has been waived (and extended) for all engineering master’s applicants through Fall 2026.
