The Newest Edition to Our Suite of Master's Degree Programs
The BS/MSE degree program is intended for highly motivated biomedical engineering students who wish to pursue advanced studies. Students will complete both degrees by the end of their fourth year, with the opportunity to pursue an additional research thesis during an optional fifth year. This accelerated timeline is designed to maximize students’ training potential, making our graduates more competitive for careers in industry and medicine, as well as PhD and medical school programs.
NEW for students matriculating in the Fall of 2025 (incoming Class of 2029) and after:
The Biomedical Engineering Department is transitioning to a traditional BS/MSE to more closely align with similar programs that are available on the Homewood Campus (Whiting and Krieger Schools). More information, including program options, degree requirements, and application deadlines, will be announced here on or before August 1, 2025.
Highlights of the combined degree include:
- Opportunities to begin MSE coursework prior to finishing bachelor’s degree that can fast-track your degree completion
- Graduate student status that will begin the semester following completion of the BS
- Flexible timing for application for BS/MSE from as early as the fifth semester
- Dean’s 50% tuition support in the ninth semester and beyond
