The biomedical engineering master’s program (MS BMED) is completed in three (non-thesis) or six (thesis) semesters. The non-thesis option is oriented towards those seeking deeper content knowledge. The thesis option is oriented towards those contemplating pursing a Ph.D. in the future. Course credits may transfer to the Ph.D. program (application required). Candidates usually take two to four courses each semester. The selection that appears on the online application is shown below in quotation marks. The program is linked to a website where you should read more about degree requirements, program objectives, and more information about admissions.

“Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering-GT Only”

The BME standard graduate TA process is that the student takes the initiative to identify a course first, then the course instructor will have to consult with the department to see if there is funding and a need for additional graduate teaching assistants above and beyond our GRAs. (Approval must always come from the department for hiring). All assistantships, includes a stipend and tuition waiver, and requires a minimum of 13 hours per week of work to assigned activities. GRA/GTAs cannot work more than 20 hours per week.
