Overview
Biomedical Engineering is a multidisciplinary field that uses research tools and techniques from virtually all of the physical sciences and the life sciences. The graduate curriculum at the University of Utah is therefore designed to accommodate a wide range of approaches.
The goal of the Biomedical Engineering program at University of Utah is to provide an educational framework that will encourage graduate students to excel in their chosen area of specialization. Each student works with a graduate track advisor, their research advisor, and their research supervisory committee to design a program of study that meets the Ph.D. requirements.
The program of study should reflect the specific research interests of the student and should be designed to develop the highest level of expertise.
Dissertation
Preparation of the dissertation must adhere to University of Utah Graduate School requirements. The Dissertation typically includes three or more peer reviewed publications written by the candidate that have (or will) appear in supervisory committee-approved journals as well as introductory and concluding chapters.
A draft copy must be delivered to the external reviewer as noted above. Copies of the dissertation must be given to the advisor, each member of the supervisory committee and to the biomedical engineering graduate academic advisor at least two weeks prior to the defense. One copy will be placed in the departmental office for public viewing.
