Ten credits are required for the M.Eng. degree:<br />
two found<strong>at</strong>ion courses (2 credits), seven gradu<strong>at</strong>e<br />
courses (7 credits), and a project (1 credit).<br />
Master of Science<br />
<strong>The</strong> department offers a program leading to the<br />
master of science (M.S.) degree in biomedical<br />
engineering.<br />
Ten credits are required for the M.S. degree:<br />
two found<strong>at</strong>ion courses (2 credits); four gradu<strong>at</strong>e<br />
courses, which can include special topics courses<br />
(4 credits); research seminars for <strong>at</strong> least two<br />
semesters (2 half-credits); and a thesis (3 credits).<br />
Doctor of Philosophy<br />
<strong>The</strong> department offers a program leading to the<br />
Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering. Thirty<br />
credits are required for a Ph.D. with prior B.S.<br />
degree: three found<strong>at</strong>ion courses (3 credits); gradu<strong>at</strong>e<br />
elective courses, which may be special topics courses<br />
(<strong>at</strong> least 5 credits); research seminars for <strong>at</strong> least four<br />
semesters (4 or more half-credits); and a thesis (up to<br />
20 credits). Twenty credits are required for a Ph.D.<br />
with prior M.Eng. or M.S. degree: three found<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
courses (3 credits), gradu<strong>at</strong>e elective courses (<strong>at</strong> least<br />
1 credit), research seminars for <strong>at</strong> least four semesters<br />
( 2 or more credits), and a thesis (up to 14 credits).<br />

FACULTY ADVISOR:<br />
Professor David Kaplan, Biomedical Engineering/Chemical<br />
and Biological Engineering<br />
Biotechnology has applic<strong>at</strong>ions in a number of<br />
diverse fields, including recent growth in applic<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
in gene therapy, protein and tissue engineering,<br />
and bioremedi<strong>at</strong>ion. <strong>The</strong> tools of biotechnology are<br />
now universally applied both to basic research<br />
efforts and to large-scale manufacturing processes,<br />
and the field is continuing to grow <strong>at</strong> a rapid pace.<br />
SECOND MAJOR IN BiotechnoLOGY<br />
This program is offered as a major only in conjunction<br />
with enrollment in a regular undergradu<strong>at</strong>e<br />
major, ordinarily excluding interdisciplinary<br />
programs. <strong>The</strong> biotechnology program has been<br />
designed with two tracks: a science track for<br />
undergradu<strong>at</strong>e students enrolled in the College of<br />
Liberal Arts, and an engineering track for undergradu<strong>at</strong>e<br />
students enrolled in the School of<br />
Engineering.<br />
