Biomedical Engineering

Description

Biomedical engineering is an exciting field that’s on the cutting edge of innovative medical advances. Biomedical engineers design prostheses, artificial organs and pharmaceutical products that directly improve quality of life for millions of people. They also design and manufacture diagnostic and therapeutic devices and imaging equipment that give doctors and medical researchers the tools to identify and treat a wide range of illnesses and injuries.

A career in biomedical engineering is an excellent option for someone interested in medicine, but who may prefer working behind the scenes rather than directly with patients. It’s a high-paying, rapidly advancing field, expected to grow 62 percent through 2020 [Bureau of Labor Statistics]. Biomedical engineers are employed by industry, including multinational corporations and start-ups, as well as government agencies, hospitals and academic institutions in the forefront of research.

Students interested in the B.S./B.A. or B.S. Dual Degree program would begin at the School of Arts and Sciences and complete all of the requirements for whichever Bachelor of Arts (or Bachelor of Science) program they are interested in and then would apply to enter into the School of Engineering following the same criteria for a school-to-school transfer. This is a more involved process and takes additional coursework than a double major would. Students completing this program receive two separate degrees/diplomas, one from each school.

Options:

• Biomedical Computing, Imaging, and Instrumentation
• Biomechanics and Rehabilitation Engineering
• Tissue Engineering and Molecular Bioengineering
• B.S./B.A. or B.S. Dual Degree
• B.S./M.S. or M.E. Combined Program
• B.S./M.B.A. Combined Program
• B.S./M.B.S. Combined Program

Requirements

Students at the School of Engineering are eligible to apply for admission to a variety of accelerated master's programs. Admission to any of these programs typically requires a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.200 and junior year status at Rutgers. In some cases an aptitude test such as the GRE or GMAT is also required.

Our primary emphasis is placed on the student’s academic promise as demonstrated by:

• completion of required entrance subjects
• academic performance in high school or its equivalent:
• strength of academic program (number/type of academic, honors, or advanced placement courses completed)
• grades and grade trends
• weighted grade-point average(s)
• cumulative rank, when available
• SAT and/or ACT scores
• English Proficiency Examination results, when required

Work Experience

No work experience is required.

Funding

Rutgers uses your FAFSA to develop a financial-aid package based on your qualifications, financial need and the funds available to the university. Your package may include any or a combination of these major financial aid sources:

• Gift aid does not require repayment and is divided into three categories: grants (which recognize financial need) and scholarships and awards (which recognize academic merit, special talents, or other achievements).
• Loans must be repaid (usually after graduation) and can come from private lenders as well as federal, state and university sources.
• Work-study allows students to earn money for college expenses while gaining valuable skills - often in their intended field.

Accreditation

The Rutgers name is recognized everywhere, and a Rutgers degree makes a great first impression. We’ve built our academic reputation on solid accomplishments:

• Rutgers is a member—so are Harvard, Yale, and Berkeley—of the prestigious Association of American Universities, the 61 leading research universities in North America.
• More than 175 Rutgers research centers support pioneering work in stem cells, climate change, DNA analysis, and more.
• Rutgers’ international reputation draws top students from more than 130 countries and all 50 states.
