Degree
Requirements To
be eligible for an accelerated combined
Bachelor's / Master's degree in
Biomedical Engineering a student must:
1.
Satisfy all degree requirements for the
Bachelor's degree. Students
....enrolled in
the program may count up to 9 hours
of graduate courses as
....credits for both
the BS electives and the MS degree.
2.

Master’s degree in
....Biomedical Engineering.
3.

in all approved courses
....in the student’s
program of study.
6. Complete an acceptable thesis or graduate
project.
7. Pass an oral examination that includes
an oral defense of the
....thesis or graduate project.
The
BS/MS Program has been designed to be a continuous
program. Students in the combined program will
apply for graduation with the BS and MS at the
same time and receive a BS degree and a MS degree
on the same date, after requirements for both are
completed. Upon the completion of the BS degree
requirements, students may “walk” for
the graduation ceremony and may request a temporary
departmental certificate. Students may also elect
to permanently leave the combined program at any
time and earn only the BS degree. Once the BS is
granted, students will have the same admission
requirements to graduate programs as any other
student. However, the combined MS degree would
not be available to those who elect to leave the
combined program.
Grades and Credits
No course in which a grade below a 'C' is earned
may be counted toward the completion of the
degree.
