Biomedical Engineering (M.S.)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs and Degree Requirements

33 CREDIT HOURS REQUIRED

Biomedical Engineering is an extremely broad discipline. A consequence of this breadth is that it is difficult to define a set of core courses that will satisfy the needs of all students. In USD’s program, we have identified a short list of courses that we believe are essential for all students, and this list is enumerated below. In addition to the listed courses, a graduate student’s advisor as well as their advisory committee may require that a student take other courses (from Biomedical Engineering and other disciplines as appropriate) that are relevant to their research and career goals. Up to 21 credits of prior graduate level coursework may be applied toward the Ph.D. program at the discretion of the student’s advisory committee.

Departmental Requirements (24 credits)


Approved Elective Courses (9 credits)


Approved elective courses in the area of the student’s intended research are to be selected in consultation with the student’s advisory committee. The number of elective courses required will depend on the student’s background and educational goals.  Other Non-Departmental Electives are allowed with advisor and BME Chair approval.
