Master's students in NJIT's Biomedical Engineering program are expected to make significant contributions to research in their area of study, while also preparing to become leaders in academia, industry or the government. Graduates of our program are successfully engaged in the practice of biomedical engineering within industry, academia, and government.

Students who have a B. S. degree in science or engineering are eligible. In general, those with a B.S. in biomedical, mechanical, electrical, computer or chemical engineering will be well prepared to enter the program. Exceptional students with undergraduate degree in the life sciences with sufficient background in mathematics will also be considered for admission. All applicants must have had courses in scientific computer programming, differential equations, statistics, and physiology. Students who are missing one or more of these can be conditionally admitted with a requirement to take undergraduate bridge courses, which are in addition to the 30-credit graduation requirement. Certain graduate courses or concentrations may require additional background, such as, statics and/or dynamics, thermodynamics, and electronics. Students who do not have these prerequisites may be asked to take additional courses or acquire the necessary material through tutoring and independent study. Prospective students may contact the M.S. Program Director for advice regarding their specific needs.
