Biomedical Engineering Master's Highlights
Our labs feature hi-tech instruments such as a bio 3D printer that prints cells mimicking
human tissue and a 3D virtual dissection table that allows students to delve inside
the human body without a scalpel.
As a Tier One Public Research University, our faculty investigate exoskeleton technology
that may someday help people with limited mobility; develop nanotechnology and optics
to diagnose cancer; and research biopolymers and flexible bioelectronics that may
help doctors deliver medications and manage illnesses.
Teaching and research assistantships provide support for many graduate students. In
addition to a monthly stipend, assistantships also qualify students for in-state tuition
rates, and many students receive tuition and fee support
