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.

• Ph.D. In Biomedical Engineering Research Track, after BS degree plan (pdf)
• Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering Research Track, after MS degree plan (pdf)
• Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering Healthcare Startup, after BS degree plan (pdf)
• Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering Healthcare Startup, after MS degree plan (pdf)

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.
