Master of Science in Bioengineering (Thesis)

Bioengineers work at the interface of engineering and living systems. At UToledo, our master’s program provides key training in focused areas. For example, learn how to design, build, and test medical devices; build computational models to predict joint loading and surgical intervention outcomes; or develop sensors to better detect physiological signals – all to improve the human condition. The possibilities are endless. Please see our department website for details regarding faculty research areas. Our master's-level graduates often transition to successful careers in a range of bio-industries or continue on to pursue Ph.D. or M.D. degrees. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS The Master of Science program in bioengineering has three options: thesis, project and coursework. The thesis option requires the completion of a minimum of 21 credit hours of approved graduate course work, 9 hours of thesis research and the successful defense of a research-based thesis. The M.S. curriculum is designed to provide a general, flexible framework for students in selecting course work that is relevant to their specific area of research. Learning Outcomes PLO 1) Solve problems using advanced mathematics, engineering and biomedical sciences PLO 2) Communicate research rationale and results in scientific presentations and refereed publications PLO 3) Independently design and conduct laboratory research PLO 4) Lead research or project teams with direction from supervisors

The MS graduate programs in the Department of Bioengineering are open to all qualifi­ed individuals with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Master of Science (M.S.) in Engineering. Students with a B.S., B.A., or M.S./M.A. degree in a related ­field are also eligible provided they meet the minimum prerequisite coursework requirement of ­ two (2) years of calculus through differential equations, and ­one (1) year of engineering physics.

To be competitive for admission, all applicants should have a grade point average of at least 3.0/4.0 for all previous undergraduate work and 3.3/4.0 for all previous graduate work.

Applicants must hold a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university

English Language Proficiency: TOEFL PBT - 550, TOEFL IBT 80, IELTS 6.5, PTE 58, Duolingo 110.
