Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering, a multi-disciplinary field, is behind some of the most important medical breakthroughs today. Working closely together, engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and physicians have developed artificial organs, internal and external prosthetics, multiple imaging modalities, and diagnostic and therapeutic devices. Biomedical engineering has significantly contributed to improved health care and quality of life. The MS program in Biomedical Engineering merges coursework from Tandon's engineering departments along with research opportunities with biomedical engineering faculty from across NYU to create a degree path that matches a student's BME career objectives.

The goal of the MS in Biomedical Engineering program is to give students an in-depth, advanced education that provides them with the analytical tools to perform fundamental and applied research in biomedical engineering. Specific objectives include the following: Enrolling students who come from many disciplines and bring different skill sets to solve a broad range of biomedical engineering problems. The program accommodates students with a BS/BA or a more advanced degree in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, physics, chemistry, or biology. Providing students with a cutting-edge program that integrates quantitative-engineering skills with medical sciences. Students acquire the skills to engage in technological innovations that give people longer, healthier and more productive lives.

The BME MS program will consider applications for admission from students with a BS/BA or a more advanced degree in biomedical, chemical, mechanical, or electrical engineering, computer engineering or science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, or biological sciences. We also consider applications from students with medical, dental, nursing and legal degrees.

The program requires that all applicants must have taken two semesters of college-level calculus and two semesters of calculus-based physics. It further highly recommends that each student's undergraduate preparation include the following sequence of math and science courses:

1 semester of linear algebra

1 semester of ordinary differential equations

1 semester of multivariable calculus

2 semesters of biology with labs

2 semesters of general chemistry with labs

For those feeling interests in the biomaterials and tissue engineering studies, additional background in organic chemistry and biochemistry is desirable. For those feeling interests in the bioinstrumentation of medical imaging studies, additional advanced mathematics courses, e.g. complex variables, partial differential equations are recommended. Though not required, exposure to CAD/FEA, Matlab, C++ /Python computer programming experience is highly desirable.

To be eligible for consideration to any graduate program at NYU Tandon, you must hold a four-year U.S. Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution, or its international equivalent.
The minimum GPA requirement is a 3.0 out of a 4.0 scale.
