Overview

Affiliated with both the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the School of Medicine and Dentistry, the University of Rochester graduate programs in biomedical engineering emphasize the application of engineering skills to biomedical problem-solving at both the master’s (MS) and doctoral level (PhD & MD/PhD). 

In addition, the Center for Medical Technology and Innovation (CMTI) offers a one-year MS degree in Biomedical Engineering through the Department of Biomedical Engineering with specialized training in medical device design.2024-11-07-gradinfosession.jpg

With access to over 40 laboratories on the River Campus, Medical Center, and Strong Memorial Hospital, students can tailor their own interdisciplinary research experience. The program offers state-of-the-art dedicated training laboratories, close individual attention and faculty mentoring, and a welcoming learning community where you will find great friends and future colleagues.

Students who are interested in becoming more involved in the department can also participate in the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Council.
