The Master of Science degree in Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering is a far-reaching discipline and our flexible program welcomes those whose undergraduate degrees were in biomedical engineering, other fields within engineering, or health and natural sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thesis or Non-Thesis Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The thesis option allows our biomedical engineering master\u2019s degree students to pursue advanced coursework leading to an original research project, supervised by a faculty advisor. Naturally, we encourage students to pursue the development of a thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you have prior engineering or scientific work experience and are seeking an MS for professional advancement, the non-thesis option is a great alternative that requires additional coursework in lieu of a thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
