Admission to our graduate Biomedical Engineering Program is based upon GRE scores, GPA, letters of reference and statement of purpose.
Prerequisites are intended to meet three objectives:
1. To ensure an adequate background in mathematics, computing, physiology
and engineering to pursue biomedical engineering graduate study.
2. To provide an adequate basis in biomedical engineering to ensure breadth
in the field and to eliminate the need for remediation in graduate course
work.
3. To ensure a foundation in engineering equivalent to the undergraduate accreditation requirements.
The total set of prerequisites, along with the undergraduate and graduate programs, should result in a student possessing the minimum course work prescribed by ABET for an undergraduate degree in engineering. (If you have an ABET accredited degree in BME that you do not need the prereqs listed).
Any prerequisite courses required will be identified in your letter of admission.
We assign such courses based on the transcript and other evidence presented
with your application. Because transcripts and records often do not clearly
indicate course content, some prerequisite course assignments may be inappropriate.
If you feel this is the case, the course requirement can be waived by an
approved departmental petition, which can be initiated by discussion with
the graduate student advisor.
Check your prescribed prerequisites with the guidelines listed below.
