PROFESSIONAL TRACK COURSE REQUIREMENTS

The Professional Track consists of 27 credits of course work and a three-credit capstone project in three core areas: Life Sciences, Engineering Management, and Biomedical Engineering.

You’ll choose three courses from the Engineering Management core based on personal training requirements. The biomedical engineering core includes a two-course sequence in one of the three primary technical areas for industry: manufacturing, instrumentation or materials.

Biomedical Engineering Core (15 credits)

Select five graduate courses from BME and other programs with advisor approval

BME 6907 Master’s Project

While the degree is a non-thesis program, you’ll be required to conduct an applied project (3 credits). The project will address contemporary topics and trends in biomedical engineering technology development and will require a formal report and presentation upon completion. Professional track students are required to take an oral final examination dealing with the objectives of their study plan. You will briefly summarize the project report (20 minutes) as a part of the exam.

Non-Degree seeking students

You may take classes as a non-degree seeking student while you apply for admission. Up to 12 credits (4 classes) may be applied to your degree if you’re accepted into the program.
