About the Program

Whether you’re learning how to design surgical robotics tools or other life-saving innovations, our online Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering program will give you the engineering expertise you need to help solve today’s biomedical problems in careers across medical institutions, manufacturing and research facilities, universities and more.

An extension of one of the world's first—and most highly ranked—biomedical engineering programs, our online option allows you to live and work wherever you’re located as you advance your education at Case Western Reserve.

What to Expect

Our biomedical engineering department encompasses the research and resources of two of Case Western Reserve’s top-ranked schools: the School of Medicine and Case School of Engineering. So in our 30-credit-hour online program, you'll gain a foundation in both, through core classes and electives that will teach you how to adapt to today's biomedical engineering research environment.

You’ll take four biomedical engineering-specific courses totaling 12 credit hours and two core engineering classes (six credit hours), plus two translational courses and two technical electives to round out your experience.

Though the material you’ll learn in these classes is the same as our on-campus program, it has been designed especially for online learning, including using dedicated simulation software. Plus, you’ll partner with our on-campus students for design projects and presentations, helping you form lasting networks.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the demand for biomedical engineers to grow by 23% by 2024.

Beyond the Classroom

As an online student, you’ll be able to tap into the myriad resources available to our on-campus students and even join student organizations, such as the Biomedical Graduate Student Organization or Underrepresented Minorities in Biomedical Engineering.

We encourage you to form connections in and outside the classroom—bonds that will last as you join the university’s network of nearly 120,000 alumni around the world who are eager to support their fellow Spartans in their careers.
