COURSE CURRICULUM

The MS in Biomedical Engineering curriculum at Rochester Institute of Technology is an intensive, 30-credit program designed to be completed in about one year, combining advanced engineering knowledge with hands-on biomedical applications. In the fall semester, students build a strong foundation through courses such as Graduate Biodesign, Graduate Biomedical Laboratory, and Advanced Engineering Mathematics, along with a doctoral seminar and a graduate elective. These courses emphasize design thinking, laboratory skills, and quantitative analysis essential for biomedical innovation. In the spring semester, the program shifts toward application and research, highlighted by a major Project with Paper, where students develop and present a comprehensive biomedical solution. Additional coursework includes electives and a choice of specialized subjects such as biostatistics, statistical modeling, or design of experiments, allowing students to tailor their learning to specific interests within biomedical engineering. The inclusion of seminars throughout the program supports professional development and exposure to current research trends. Overall, the curriculum integrates engineering, biology, and data analysis, preparing graduates to design medical technologies, improve healthcare systems, and contribute effectively to the biomedical industry or further academic research.
