Core Coursework Requirements

Requirements

Students complete 12 units of advanced courses in their senior year, which apply toward both the bachelor's and master's degrees. After completing bachelor's degree requirements with grades of "B" or better in all courses, students are granted graduate status and enter the master's program.

Students may choose to complete a master's thesis or master's report. Students may find that the report, which does not require original laboratory research, is more compatible with the accelerated nature of this program, but a thesis is encouraged if appropriate.

Complete a minimum of 30 units of graduate credit.

Required Courses:

BME 510 (3) – Biology for Biomedical Engineering

BME 511 (3) – Physiology for Biomedical Engineering

BME 517 (3) – Measurement and Data Analysis in Biomedical Engineering OR BME 547 (3) – Sensors and Controls

Choose at least one (3 units total) out of the following:

BME 516 (3) – Biomedical Imaging

BME 510 (3) – Biophotonics

BME 561 (3) – Biological and Synthetic Materials

BME 566 (3) – Biomechanical Engineering

BME 577 (3) – Intro to Biomedical Informatics

BME 581B (3) – Cell and Tissue Engineering

BME 586 (3) – Biomaterial-Tissue Interactions

BME 696A Seminar/696C Forum (1)

(2 units required; taken in 2nd year of AMP)

BME 592 Rotation (1)

Graduate Coursework (9 units) – List:

Level 500+ courses, dependent on approval of mentor and Graduate Studies Committee. This may include BME or non-BME graduate courses.

Example:

BME 585 (3) - Nanotechnology for BME

MCB 582 (3) - Modeling Human Disease

BIOS 576A (3) - Biostatistics for Research

BME 910 Thesis (6 units) or BME 909 Master’s Report (3 units) and additional coursework (3 units)

Elective Coursework

Nine units in graduate engineering, life or physical sciences, or mathematics courses (which can include one additional unit of Research Methods in Biomedical Engineering, or up to two additional units of BME seminar/student forum)
