Biomedical Engineering - MASTER'S (M.S.)
STEM ProgramDEGREE OVERVIEW
The Master of Science in biomedical engineering degree program is jointly offered by UTA and UT Southwestern Medical Center. Research and teaching efforts in the biological, engineering, mathematical, physical, and medical sciences departments of both institutions are coordinated through the Committee on Graduate Studies in Biomedical Engineering.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Students in the M.S. in biomedical engineering program learn the essentials of life, basic science, engineering theory, and analytical and practical tools that enable them to be successful in the biotechnology and biomedical engineering industries.
The 30-hour curriculum leads to a Master of Science degree in biomedical engineering. Both thesis and non-thesis options are available, with the former offering research experience in a laboratory.

DEGREE OPTIONS
Combined Degree Plan: Bachelor of Science in Biology and Master of Science in Bioengineering
This five-year curriculum prepares students for careers in the fast-growing biotechnology and bioengineering industries. The curriculum also prepares students for medical school and advanced study. Students are required to take courses from engineering, life sciences, and liberal arts, culminating in a five-year Master of Science degree in biomedical engineering, including a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. The curriculum is offered jointly by the College of Engineering and the College of Science.
Fast-Track Program for a Master of Science Degree in Biomedical Engineering
The fast-track program enables outstanding undergraduate students in either bioengineering, physics, or biochemistry to receive dual undergraduate and graduate course credit leading to both a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineering, physics, or biochemistry and a master's degree in biomedical engineering. See the departmental advisors for additional information on these programs.
