requires 30 semester hours and the

who intend to pursue the Ph.D. are strongly
urged the thesis option.
- For both the thesis
and non-thesis options, students must
complete the following three courses (9
credit hours):
- BME 6747 -
Biomedical Engineering (3 credit
hours)- GMS 7930 - Anatomy
& Physiology for Engineering (3
credit hours)
- PHC 6051 -
Biostatistics II (3 credit hours)
Note: that no credit will
be given for PHC 6050 Biostatistics

- Students then select
elective courses as approved by their
