Our program represents the strong intellectual interdisciplinary infrastructure and collaborative culture that links engineering, biology, and medicine at our university.

Our program provides a basic understanding of bioengineering at the molecular and cellular level, focusing on:

  • biomolecular and cellular rate processes
  • biomaterials and tissue engineering
  • drug delivery
  • cellular and tissue biomechanics
  • electrophysiology of the cell
  • cellular and physiological transport phenomena
  • biomedical imaging
  • biosensors
  • medical diagnostics systems
  • bio-devices
  • vaccines

With strong, funded research programs and innovative partnerships with the National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and University of Maryland School of Medicine, the Fischell Department of Bioengineering is an exciting place for graduate study.

  • BIOE 601: Biomolecular and Cellular Rate Processes (3 credits)
  • BIOE 604: Cellular and Physiological Transport Phenomena (3 credits)
  • BIOE 612: Physiological Evaluation of Bioengineering Designs (3 credits)
  • BIOE 799: Master's Thesis Research (6 credits)

The terminal M.S. degree is intended for students who are interested in expanding their knowledge of bioengineering through research, beyond what is available at the B.S. level. Therefore, the M.S. program involves both coursework and a well-defined research project culminating in a M.S. thesis. The M.S. program may be suitable for top UMD undergraduates engaged in research via an individualized, combined B.S. / M.S. program. A combined M.D. / M.S. program is also available. It should be noted, however, that due to limited resources, the department does not actively recruit students to its M.S. program. Students interested in the M.S. program should contact the Bioengineering Graduate Office prior to submitting an application.

Requirements

Admission to the Graduate Program in Bioengineering requires a bachelor of science degree in an engineering discipline from a recognized undergraduate institution. Admission also may be granted to students with a degree in another scientific discipline, such as biology, chemistry, physics, or mathematics. In some cases, students may be required to take undergraduate courses to rectify deficiencies in their background before they will be given permission to enroll in the required core graduate courses. Because of the structure of the first year curriculum, students seldom are admitted to begin the Ph.D. program in the spring semester. In addition, students are rarely admitted that only wish to pursue a master’s degree. Therefore, applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for fall admission to the Ph.D. program.

  1. Online Application
  2. Statement of Goals, Research Interests and Experiences (on-line submission required)
  3. 3 Letters of Recommendation (on-line submission required)
  4. Complete set of  transcripts reflecting all undergraduate and graduate work completed or in progress
  5. Official GRE General Exam score report
  6. Official TOEFL score report (if applicable)
  7. Maryland In-State Status Form (if wish to apply for Maryland resident status)
  8. Resume or CV
