The Biomedical Engineering Department offers three different routes for Master degrees: (1) The Master of Science (M.S.) is a Master degree that requires a thesis; (2) The Master of Engineering (M.Eng) can be obtained with a research project of limited scope or (3) as a coursework-only M.Eng. The M.Eng. is generally recommended for students who do not plan further graduate studies. Pursuing a M.S. is advised for students who have a strong interest in research or plan to obtain a higher graduate degree.
