- Description
- Matriculation into the doctoral program is based upon prior demonstration of a high level of academic achievement in graduate and/or undergraduate work. Advanced study and research are conducted under the guidance of a faculty member of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and an interdisciplinary committee. A total of 72 credits (21 course work credits minimum, consisting of 7 courses, and the remainder research credits) satisfy both the Department’s and the Institutes’ residency and thesis requirements. At least 3 BME classes at the 6000 level are required for the coursework and no more than two classes at the 4000 level can be included. Additionally, one course in the life sciences (biology or physiology) and one course in advanced math/statistics are required. In consultation with their adviser, students must develop a Plan of Study that satisfactorily meets Institute requirements and Departmental requirements.
