Bioengineering Graduate Programs
Our faculty members work closely with clinicians, other engineers and scientists. Many of our projects involve other disciplines — engineering and medicine or engineering and material science. These projects offer opportunities for:
- Creative problem solving
- Entrepreneurship
- Intellectual property generation
Graduate Degrees
- Master of Science in Bioengineering. Three degree options:
- Coursework + thesis
- Coursework + project
- Coursework only
- Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering
- Joint program between the College of Engineering and the College of Medicine
- Open to students from all engineering backgrounds
- Entrepreneurial focus. Develop a business plan with a College of Business mentor to commercialize your research discoveries or device designs.
- Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering with a specialization in Bioengineering
- Flexible coursework options to allow for very specific specialization in focused areas
- Includes non-biomedical research areas such as environmental sensors and renewable energy (e.g., biofuels).
Pursue a career as a physician scientist. Medical students with engineering backgrounds can enroll in the dual-degree M.D./Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering program.
The College of Engineering also offers the following graduate options:
- Online M.S. in engineering with a concentration in general engineering ― A part-time program for working professionals
- Online M.S. in energy engineering ― A part-time program for working professionals
- Master of Cyber security ― Offer a research-based M.S. degree or a course work-based M.C.S. for working professionals
- J.D./M.S.E. Dual Degree ― Designed for law students interesting in pursuing careers in technology-driven fields.
Research
Partner with outstanding faculty. Work with state-of-the-art equipment in all of our laboratories.
Our research on spine and joint mechanics has drawn international attention. Faculty work with industry sponsors in UToledo's NSF-funded Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovations (CDMI) and the Engineering Center for Orthopaedic Research Excellence (E-CORE), a joint research center with the College of Medicine and Life Science.
In addition, our faculty have broad expertise covering a wide-range of research areas in Bioengineering.
