Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering/Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering

The Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering has implemented a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science (BS-MS) pathway based on the existing bachelor's and master's degree programs that cover the areas of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. The Department wants to allow academically talented students to obtain both a bachelor's and a master's degree in a shorter time span, while still producing engineers that are fully qualified to enter into a professional practice in the industry. This program is designed for students pursuing an undergraduate degree in either Chemical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering who also wish to obtain a graduate degree in either Chemical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering. Well-qualified students who expect to have a GPA of 3.0 or better in engineering studies are invited to apply for the program during the spring semester of their third year in the College. Students who have graduated by this pathway have successfully been able to find jobs or have pursued advanced degrees in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Medicine, Business, Patent Law, and other related fields.

An applicant who desires admission as a first year in college student must be graduated from a regionally accredited high school (or comparable international institution). All transcripts/academic records that are not in English must be accompanied by certified English translations. If the transcript/academic record does not indicate the degree earned and date the degree was awarded, separate proof of degree is required. We require freshman applicants to submit at least one ACT and/or SAT test score to be considered for admission. Florida State does not require the optional ACT writing score or the optional SAT essay. We encourage applicants to take both the ACT and SAT, and to attempt each exam more than one time to earn the highest possible score.
