    Program details

    Expected duration: 4 years

    Tuition and fees: Two years tuition, then continuing fees in subsequent years (refer to Graduate tuition and fees)

    The PhD in Biomedical Engineering consists of coursework and a substantial research component. A minimum of 12 credit hours at the 7000 level or higher is required. Students from engineering backgrounds normally have to take anatomy and physiology. Students from science backgrounds should not enroll in anatomy and physiology. In addition, all biomedical engineering PhD students are required to attend seminars, in which students present their research to, and learn from, their colleagues in the program.

    In addition to coursework, students must present, submit and defend a comprehensive thesis that constitutes a distinct contribution to knowledge in the field of study.

    Our mission is to integrate science, engineering and medicine by bringing together many different disciplines in a unique collaboration to improve human health and enrich the educational experience of students. We educate our students in the fundamentals of science, engineering and medicine, and train them to carry their scientific expertise and engineering skills from the research labs to the actual world of medical technologies, and also to bring clinical insights from the patients back to the research laboratories.
