Biological Engineering (M.A.S.)

Illinois Tech’s Master of Biological Engineering will prepare students for professional practice in any field of engineering involving heavy emphasis on biological processes. Our biological engineering faculty are pushing the needle toward discovery and innovation in many fields, including diabetes, tissue scaffolding, hydrogels, biomimetic materials, and other specialized areas within this growing discipline.With a goal of developing effective biology-based technologies, students will learn to design and analyze systems to develop innovative and practical solutions.

Candidates should have prior technical coursework that will provide proficiency in areas that are relevant to the field of biological engineering. Illinois Tech requires a four-year bachelor’s degree that is conferred with a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent) from an accredited institution for regular admission. Citizens and permanent residents of the United States with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5/4.0 may be admitted as non-degree students.
