Biomechanical Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

Up one level:

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Students interested in graduate studies in biomechanical engineering can choose one of the programs below.

  1. M.S. in Mechanical Engineering: students who apply and are admitted to the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering program can elect to take biomechanical engineering courses as part of their requirements. These courses may be applied towards the student's engineering breadth or technical electives.
  2. M.S. in Engineering, Biomechanical Engineering subplan: this program allows students more flexibility in taking courses in the life sciences and generally emphasizes a more interdisciplinary curriculum. Minimum grade point average (GPA) requirements are the same as for the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Details of this program can be found in the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Handbook.

A Ph.D. in Biomechanical Engineering is not offered. Students from either master's degree path (Mechanical Engineering or Engineering, Biomechanical Engineering subplan) receive their Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering.
