Doctoral Program
Our Ph.D. program offers two tracks: a traditional research track that will help you
progress toward your academic career goal and a one-of-a-kind healthcare start-up
management track in collaboration with the G. Brint Ryan College of Business. High-achieving
students may apply with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering.
If your previous degree (BS or MS) is an area other than Biomedical Engineering, then
you may need to take some leveling courses. Please consult with your graduate advisor
in Biomedical Engineering.
