Ph.D. Program

The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering.  

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.

Positions for Ph.D. students in Systems and Synthetic Biology

Ph.D. Concentrations

If you would like to complement your Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, then our programs offering a concentration in Biomedical Engineering may be just what you’re looking for.  Here are the Ph.D. programs we offer in the College of Engineering that include a concentration 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.
