COURSE
REQUIREMENTS The
research track consists of a minimum of
24 semester credit hours of course work,
a minimum of 6 semester credit hours of
Master’s Thesis, and one semester
of the Biomedical Engineering Seminar.
Early in the program (before the end of
the second term) the student and advisor
will complete a study plan that specifies
the courses that will comprise the program.
All students in the Research Track must
take two courses in one specialty area,
and one course in each of two other specialty
areas. The current specialty areas are:
1) biomechanics, biomaterials,
medical devices and bionanotechnology;
2) bioinstrumentation and biosignal processing;
3) drug delivery, tissue engineering, and
systems biology; and
4) medical and molecular imaging and biomedical
optics.

MASTER'S
RESEARCH THESIS
All students in the research track are required
to complete a thesis research project under the
supervision of an advisor and committee. When the
thesis
research is completed, the student should schedule and conduct a defense with
an examining committee appointed through the Graduate School. At the conclusion
of the defense, the committee will agree upon the outcome pass or fail and
report the results to the Graduate School.
Non-Degree
seeking students
A student is allowed to take classes as a non-degree
seeking student while in the process of gaining
acceptance into the graduate program they wish
to pursue. The maximum amount of credits that may
be later applied to the program is 12 (4 classes).
