Integrated Bachelor/Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering

This program will be initiated while undergraduates are completing the BS degree in engineering and is intended for outstanding engineering undergraduates who have worked with a thesis advisor during their undergraduate studies. For this program, graduate student course work will begin in the students’ fourth year of undergraduate study and be completed with one academic year of study beyond the bachelor’s degree. It is anticipated that a full year of study beyond completion of undergraduate engineering requirements will be required to complete this program. Engineering students may apply to the program after completion of a minimum of 80 eligible undergraduate credit hours, and can enter the program after completion of a minimum of 95 eligible undergraduate credit hours (a minimum of 128 credit hours is required for the bachelor of science in engineering degree). The minimum GPA at the time of admission and entry to the program is 3.5.

Applicants to the integrated bachelor/master of science in biomedical engineering program will go through the regular graduate application process with the following exceptions:

• On the application form indicate “Integrated BS/MS”
• Personal statement should address applicant’s specific interest in biomedical engineering graduate education and the integrated program. 

Students interested in this program should contact Dr. Barbara Muller-Borer at mullerborerb@ecu.edu .
