Interdisciplinary Master of Science in Bioengineering
Program Summary
The Master of Science in Bioengineering produces graduates who will fill positions in research in the field of biomedical engineering. The program integrates various disciplines inside and outside the college of engineering to provide in-depth exposure and opportunity. Fields of specialization for graduates can include bioinstrumentation, bioinformatics, biomaterials, biomechanics, biochemistry, biomedical imaging, and occupational bio-ergonomics. This program can be completed on campus or online.

Application Requirements
Students must have an adequate mathematics background equivalent to an undergraduate differential equations-level course and undergraduate level statistics and probability. Any student who does not have an undergraduate degree in engineering is considered a special case. To provide the student with a solid program and to ensure that the student has the necessary background knowledge to successfully complete the program, the following courses are strongly recommended:
- Principles of Chemistry I (TTU CHEM 1307)
- Principles of Physics I (Calculus-based) (TTU PHYS 1408)
- Calculus with Applications I, II, & III (TTU MATH 1451, 1452, & 2450)
- Differential Equations (TTU MATH 3354)
Note: Not all courses are required to be completed, but a strong foundation in two of the disciplines listed and some math are recommended. TTU Course Numbers are provided for your reference. These courses may also be taken at TTU or at a local university or community college. Transcripts must be included with your graduate application.
