About the Program

The Master of Science in Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Business is designed for engineers pursuing Business/Management oriented careers in Biomedical Engineering. The program is open for students with previous undergraduate degrees in an engineering discipline. The program provides participants with a biomedical engineering training, but combines it with a multifaceted and transferable skill set of a manager and technology entrepreneur. Participants will complete specific courses and have experiences that promote the development of their business skills in terms of management, finance, leadership, communications and marketing skills, thus helping to ensure graduates’ professional success.

In addition, the program requires a minimum of 46.0 quarter credits (40.0 credits in class; 3.0 or 6.0 co-op and/or 3.0-6.0 elective credits). It is a non-thesis program and can be completed in 1.5 years as a full time student, or it can be taken on a part-time basis.

Admission Requirements

Acceptance into the MS in Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Business program requires a four-year bachelor's degree in engineering from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or an equivalent international institution. Regular acceptance typically requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 for the last two years of undergraduate work. The average for any graduate work must be at least 3.0.

Applicants must also fulfill the following requirements for consideration:

▪ Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended;
▪ Official test scores from Graduate Record Examination (GRE);
▪ References from at least two instructors or professionals;
▪ Essay and Resume

International applicants (non-United States citizens) must meet the same requirements for admission as students from the United States. Applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate the ability to speak, write, and understand the English language by submitting an acceptable score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). An evaluation by World Education Services (WES) is required for transcripts from institutions outside the United States.

Online applications are accepted all year round, but all admitted students initiate their studies in the following fall term. Students are encouraged to apply no later than July 1 for consideration for admission the following fall term. Students may defer admission by one year.
