The Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a graduate research program in the Engineering Faculty which requires a research thesis for graduation. The requirements listed on this site are minimum admissions requirements for this graduate program. As the Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a graduate research program, professors in this Department/Graduate Program may require additional admissions requirements and/or pre-requisites, please check with the Academic Advisor (professor) offering you tentative acceptance BEFORE submitting an online admissions application.
Acceptance or Admissions into the BME graduate program is dependent on numerous factors and is NOT AUTOMATIC with the submission of a application, tentative acceptance from a professor in our Department, or minimum GPA. Applications and Interviews are evaluated on a variety of factors which may include, but not limited to space availability; academic history; publications; research history and background; performance history in courses in the student's research/study area, mature, safe, and responsible behavior; good judgement/common sense; ability to work with confidential information; ability to follow instructions, rules, & procedures; ability to work with others (including but not limited superiors, co-researchers/co-students, outside firms, staff, etc.); availability of funds; preset evaluation factors (English language exam scores, etc.); professor recommendations; GPA; etc..
