1 Curriculum requirements for the M. S. degree in Bioengineering are highly individualized and established in consultation with and approved by the student's graduate committee. The courses listed are often considered when establishing the program of study for a particular student. Exceptions from the Engineering course requirements (6 credits) will be considered by the Bioengineering MS oversight committee.
Total number of credits must be 30 credits or greater.
