Prospective Student InformationWhat does the MSE program look for in a degree candidate? What financial assistance is available? What do I need to do to apply? What does the MSE program look for in a degree candidate?To be considered for admission, students must hold a bachelor's degree in engineering. Exceptional students with degrees in basic science may also be considered, but may be required to take a number of courses to overcome deficiencies in their curriculum. Regardless of the specific degree, the applicant should have completed a balanced program in college-level physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology. Undergraduate students enrolled in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins may opt to apply in their junior year for a five-year combined B.S./M.S.E. program. With each applicant, the Admission's Committee considers the undergraduate academic record, letters of recommendation, results of Graduate Record Examinations (required), and overall motivation of the individual to pursue graduate studies. Average GPA is typically 3.7 or above (on a 4.0 scale). Strong research experience is desirable. What financial assistance is available?All students have the potential to receive full tuition support by obtaining a position in a research laboratory. Research is vital to your learning experience and all students are strongly urged to obtain a research laboratory prior to enrollment in the fall. We will make every effort to assist students in finding thesis research laboratories that can provide tuition support each semester. However, students are expected to take the initiative in finding the funded projects. International students are invited to contact faculty as soon as possible to try to secure funding. For further information on the cost of living at Johns Hopkins, please consult the current estimates of tuition and other expenses.
