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 and 51 credits of research) satisfies the Department’s and the Institute’s residency and thesis requirements. Students in the Ph.D. program can earn a M.S. degree when completing their candidacy. Also, it is common for doctoral students to receive financial support from the department and/or the faculty.
Research labs are available in Biofabrication and Biomanufacturing, Biomedical Imaging and Image Analytics, Biomolecular Science and Engineering, Muscuoskeletal Biomechanics and Mechanobiology, Systems Biology and Healthcare Analytics, and Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
