| Biomedical engineering combines medical
needs with engineering expertise for the
enhancement of health care. According to
the U.S. Department of Labor, the number
of biomedical engineering jobs will increase
by 31.4 percent through 2010 - double the
growth rate of all other jobs combined, and
triple the rate of other engineering disciplines. |

| Biomedical
Engineering is also a great pathway to medical
school. According to the Association
of American Medical Colleges’ publication
Medical School Admissions Requirements: U.S. & Canada
2002-2003, biomedical engineering
graduates have the highest admission rate to medical
school of
all majors. |
| |
| The
Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering program is geared toward providing students and
practicing engineers with the theoretical and practical
experience needed to succeed in this field. The
program offers a Professional curriculum track,
as well as a Research oriented track. The Professional
Track is tailored for the engineer currently practicing
in the biomedical industry.The research track is
a more traditional program geared to prepare the
graduate for further graduate study or a career
in biomedical research. |
