Master of Science in Bioengineering

This program is interdisciplinary in scope, where advanced courses in engineering specialties, life sciences, and bioengineering are combined with training in biomedical research. Both the M.S. and Ph.D. in bioengineering are being offered by the College of Engineering. High-quality students with engineering or non-engineering backgrounds (degrees in computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, or mathematics, or physicians with undergraduate degrees in engineering or the physical sciences) are eligible to apply to the program.

Doctoral Program in Civil Engineering

he Ph.D. program is offered to students with an excellent academic background and a capacity for independent research. Doctoral students tailor a highly individualized program of study directed toward completion of a dissertation that is expected to make an important contribution in their selected area.

Doctoral degrees are offered in civil engineering, and environmental engineering.

After consultation with the appropriate specialty group, the associate chair for graduate programs may grant the applicant admission to the appropriate doctoral program within the School. Applicants must have received an acceptable undergraduate or master's degree in engineering, mathematics, computer science, or the physical sciences from a recognized institution.

Students currently pursuing a master's degree who wish to continue studies toward the Ph.D. degree must get written approval from the head of the appropriate specialty group. Admission to the Ph.D. program does not constitute admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree.
