The department offers a MS and Ph.D degree option through the School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (SBES). Students must successfully complete the requirements for the graduate degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering to be eligible to receive the additional Biomedical Engineering option. Successful completion of at least one course from an approved list of SBES courses is also required. It is expected that the student’s thesis or dissertation have a significant biomedical component.
See the graduate catalog for further details.
