Admission Requirements for M.S.  


Applicants for the Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering should have the following minimum qualifications:

  • GRE score of 1000 minimum (verbal + quantitative)
  • An undergraduate GPA pf 3.0 or higher (out of a possible 4.0) based on official transcripts.

However, admitted students will typically have higher GRE scores and GPAs. Admission is very competitive; the number of applications usually exceeds the available positions. Particular attention will be given to engineering and math/physics course performance during the junior and senior years. While fall applications are preferred, students can apply at any time during the year. For the M.S. degree, letters of recommendation are nor required.

While not required for admission, students who anticipate advanced training in biomedical engineering should select courses in the life sciences and related areas as part of their undergraduate training.

Students who do not have an undergraduate degree in engineering can apply from the M.S., but may be required to complete a limited number of remedial course in engineering. These courses will typically be determined by the student's area of research interest and normally do not count toward the graduate degree requirements. Students may also be required to take selected math and physics courses depending on their background in these areas.
