The Curriculum


Requirements for the Master of Science

Each track within the BME MS program includes two options. The first specifies course requirements that include research with submission of a master’s thesis. The second option specifies course requirements plus research performed as guided studies. Students who choose the master’s thesis option must register for 6 credits of BE-GY 997x and then write and defend a master’s thesis according to School guidelines. Those students electing the thesis option will also be required to take training in laboratory safety.
