Biomedical Engineering

Through our extensive research collaborations at the university and across Cleveland, plus rigorous classroom and hands-on learning opportunities, you'll gain a deep understanding of biomedical engineering. You'll gain a foundation in both biomedical and engineering coursework through core classes that will teach you how to adapt to today's biomedical engineering research environment. Plus, our graduate students complete teaching assistantships and two semesters of biomedical engineering seminars—helping you gain critical communication skills and stay up-to-date on current topics.

You also can specialize your studies in one of several biomedical research concentrations:

• biomaterials,
• imaging,
• biomedical sensing,
• analytics and health informatics,
• neural engineering,
• biomechanical systems and
• cardiovascular systems.

• Online application (applications are processed through the Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies)
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (most students admitted have a BS or MS in engineering, natural sciences or mathematical sciences)
• Graduate courses (if applicable) should average at least a B+
• Mathematical background: calculus through differential equations courses
• Science and engineering background: combined total of three years of physical, chemical and engineering sciences
• GRE test scores preferred (but not required) for 2021 admissions; there is no clear cut-off for GRE scores
• TOEFL score of at least 100* for all non-native-English-speaking applicants, unless you have earned a bachelor's or master's degree from an English-speaking university

*Please note: All TOEFL and GRE scores, GPAs and recommendation letters are reviewed in the context of the entire application package. As is the case with exception GRE scores, GPAs and recommendation letters, scores of 90 and above will be considered.
