The program provides graduate level education designed to prepare the graduate for Ph.D. level studies or for advanced bioengineering practice in industry, consulting, or government service.

North Carolina A&T State University (NCAT), in partnership with University of Pittsburgh and University of Cincinnati, currently has been awarded an NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC) on metallic biomaterials. The strategic plan of NCAT?s college of engineering to develop programs in Bioengineering is consistent with the research and educational activities proposed in the ERC. The ERC will be instrumental in providing the bioengineering program with intramural internships involving the research efforts related to the ERC, in particular in the three Engineered Systems (ESs), namely Craniofacial and Orthopedic Applications; Cardiovascular Devices; and Responsive Biosensors for Implants.?
