Biomedical Engineering

Our integrated Bachelor of Science (BS)/Master of Science (MS) program is intended for highly motivated and qualified undergraduate students who wish to pursue an advanced degree in biomedical engineering. When you are admitted to the program, you may, in your senior year, take up to nine credits of graduate courses that will count toward both BS and MS requirements.

At Case Western Reserve, our research expertise in medicine, science and engineering contributes to a learning environment that:

• encourages the application of biomedical engineering methods to advance basic scientific discovery,
• integrates knowledge across the spectrum from cellular and molecular biology through tissue, organ and whole-body physiology and pathophysiology, and
• employs this knowledge to design diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to improve human health.

You should apply to the BS/MS program after the completion of 75 semester hours of coursework and prior to attaining senior status (completion of 90 semester hours). Normally, this means you’ll submit applications in the sixth semester of the BS program (usually the spring term of your junior year), but make sure to check with the BS/MS adviser for your department to learn the specific due date for your application. Case School of Engineering sets the minimum grade point average for admission to the BS/MS program at 3.0; individual departments may set a higher minimum GPA.

When reviewing your profile for admission consideration, we require the following:

• Completed application form
• Statement of objectives
• Official Case Western Reserve University transcript
• Three letters of recommendation
• Approved program of study
