Biomedical Engineering — MS
The Biomedical Engineering Master of Science degree may be earned under a thesis or non-thesis option, both of which may be completed entirely online.
MS Thesis Option
The required coursework includes 30 credit hours, comprised of 21 graded credit hours and 9 ungraded, research thesis and graduate seminar credit hours. One semester of graduate teaching assistantship to solidify core knowledge is also required.
The thesis defense consists of a written thesis followed by an oral examination administered by the research advisory committee. The research advisory committee is comprised of at least three faculty members, including at least two engineering faculty members, one of whom is the chair or co-chair of the committee. Successful completion requires unanimous approval of the research advisory committee.
