The Biomedical Engineering program gives graduate students a foundation in biomedical engineering principles and molecular biotechnology. Students are also required to complete a research-based project, but not a formal thesis.

The research areas underlying these programs fall into two broad categories: Regenerative Medicine and Sensing Systems. Tufts will offer the opportunity for students accepted into the graduate program to attend courses specifically designed to provide appropriate background in areas such as biology, mathematics, circuit theory, chemical engineering, etc.
