Ph.D. in Engineering - Biomedical Emphasis

The Ph.D. in Engineering provides maximum flexibility for students to address 21st-century challenges through their studies and research. Within the biomedical engineering emphasis, students tackle research problems that address the need for new biomaterials for medical devices that prevent infection and coagulation, novel stem cell therapies to combat cancer, and computational models to understand disease progression and pharmacological treatments.

Exceptional and highly motivated students with a B.S. degree who have not completed an M.S. degree may apply for direct admission to a Ph.D. program provided they have demonstrated research experience. The student’s desire and suitability to enter a Ph.D. program should be clearly articulated in their statement of purpose and in accompanying letters of recommendation.
