The PhD program prepares students for a career in research; advancing the frontiers of biomedical science and engineering with attention to generating new ideas for commercialization.

The biomedical and chemical engineering Ph.D. program provides you with the knowledge, training, and expertise to tackle important problems in the industry, academia, government, and health care. In the biomedical and chemical engineering Ph.D. program, you will complete a number of classes in your first two years of study, including foundational courses with other engineering doctorate students, discipline-specific courses within biomedical and chemical engineering, and elective courses you select with your research advisor. You will complete a research thesis project with your faculty advisor in their lab and may have the opportunity to complete a complementary industrial co-op or internship. You will graduate from the program as a highly skilled researcher who is well-positioned to be a leader in the next generation of engineers who will help tackle the challenging and complex problems facing our society.

The Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. program is focused on scientific research and independent research in a multidisciplinary biomedical engineering environment. This field arose from the need to single out the interactions of the living organism from the traditional engineering disciplines, which is specified in a number of ways.

The Ph.D. in a biomedical engineering degree program is jointly offered by UTA and UT Southwestern Medical Center. Research and teaching efforts in the biological, engineering, mathematical, physical, and medical sciences departments of both institutions are coordinated through the Committee on Graduate Studies in Biomedical Engineering.

Once accepted into either the Ph.D. in Biomedical Science, or the Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering program, and prior to the identification of a dissertation mentor, students will be advised by the First Year Advisory Committee (FYA).

We aim to equip capable individuals with expertise in Control and IC, Power and Information, and Biomedical Electronics.

The Ph.D. in Engineering provides maximum flexibility for students to address 21st-century challenges through their studies and research.
