The Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology Graduate Program is offered jointly by the University of Massachusetts campuses at Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and Worcester. The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary, team approach in courseseminars, presentations, laboratory rotations, and research projects. Students who have received a wide range of bachelor degrees with strong quantitative skills in engineeringphysical science, lifeclinical science and related backgrounds are candidates for the program. Graduate students come from a variety of backgrounds including biology, chemical engineering, chemistry, clinical laboratory science, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, mechanical engineering, plastics engineering, and polymer science. A minimum 31-credit Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology is offered, with options available in either Biomedical Sciences or Engineering and tracks available within each option. This program prepares students for a professional career and may be completed full-time or part-time. The M.S. program includes 10 credits of core courses, including a 3-credit laboratory requirement, and 21 credits of track-based elective courses, including a 3-credit research project. The available tracks allow students to gain a deeper knowledge base in an area of specific interest to them.
