Students will also be prepared to continue their formal education at the PhD level in a variety of science and engineering disciplines and at the MD level in certain cases.The Bioengineering program is unique by allowing a vast choice of electives including biological sciences, biomedical sciences, complex systems and brain sciences, and nursing in addition to three core courses.

• Opportunities for graduate students to conduct research in centers, institutes, and facilities with which faculty have association, College of Engineering & Computer Science Robotics, Applied Stochastics Research, Imaging Technology, and Ocean & Systems Engineering Centers; Charles E. Schmidt College of Science Centers for Complex Systems & Brain Sciences and Molecular Biology & Biotechnology; Scripps Florida; Beckman Coulter Inc.; Northwest Medical Center; North Broward Medical Center; and Miami Children's Hospital, Brain Institute & Neuroscience Center. A number of opportunities also exist for students in small, highly specialized companies.
• In the second phase of implementation, Program Tracks are planned in the areas of Biomedical and Biosystems Engineering, Bioinformatics Engineering and Computer Science, Biotechnology Robotics and Automation, Biomechanics, and Neuroscience and Neurological Engineering. A General Bioengineering Studies track will remain.
