General requirements

Applicants to the Ph.D. program should have a bachelor's or master's degree in a field of biomedical engineering or a closely related discipline.
Students with undergraduate degrees in the physical sciences, life sciences, or mathematics also will also be considered for admission; however, such students may be required to demonstrate competence in engineering areas usually found in an undergraduate engineering curriculum. In some cases preparatory courses in engineering may be required.
Typical students would have an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or greater and have participated in at least one research project while an undergraduate (e.g., laboratory research, senior design projects, etc.)
GRE is not required, but we will accept GRE scores if the applicant wants to submit them.
