Doctoral Program in Biomedical Engineering

To be awarded the Ph.D., students must complete 90 credits (credits earned toward a masterís degree may apply toward the 90), fulfill a one-year residency requirement, and successfully pass the qualifying examination, the candidacy examination, and a Ph.D. dissertation and oral defense.

The qualifying examination is intended to test students’ general knowledge of biomedical engineering and science. It is a written examination that covers the basic knowledge expected of students wishing to proceed toward a Ph.D. Biomedical engineering students are also expected to demonstrate physical science aptitude and preparation.


Prospective Ph.D. students are welcome to contact the school to discuss their research interests For more information, visit the School's Academics web page.
