Admission to master's study is restricted to applicants whose backgrounds show a distinguished record in previous work as evidenced by their university transcripts, letters of recommendation, résumé, and competitive score on the Graduate Record Examination.

Bioengineering has combined B.S./M.S. programs that will allow qualified students to obtain a Master of Science in Bioengineering through a shortened period of study beyond the bachelor's degree. Application for these programs is completed during the student's third year of undergraduate study.

Undergraduate students at Texas Tech University who are majoring in any of the programs partnered may apply to our accelerated BS/MS in Bioengineering program. This program is intended for our best undergraduates who wish to stay on for a master's degree. Students in the program get an early start on master's work by taking graduate courses in their senior year, in place of senior elective courses, to complete their B.S. degree. They then take the remaining graduate courses the following year and can carry out their thesis research to complete their MS in Bioengineering degree. Work on laboratory projects during the senior year may provide background for the thesis. Students must work with both the undergraduate advisor in their home department and the bioengineering advisor to verify the courses are appropriate to both degrees.

By choosing the combined B.S./M.S. program, students desiring a master's degree can complete both degrees while taking fewer hours in less time than if the student had completed the full bachelor's degree before starting the master's program.
