Biomedical Engineering Concentration Requirements
The Interdisciplinary Engineering (MSE or MS) degree requires a total of 30 credit hours with at least 18 hours of Purdue, graduate level, engineering courses as a base requirement. The Biomedical Engineering (BME) concentration requirements must be met within these base requirements.
Degree requirements checklist:
_____ total from Biomedical Engineering area (6 hours)
_____ total from Regulatory Sciences area (3 hours)
_____ total from Life Sciences area (3 hours)
_____ total from Quantitative/Analytical area (3 hours)
_____ total elective courses (15 hours)
_____ total credit hours (30 hours)
Note: At least 18 hours must be graduate level, engineering courses taken at Purdue University.
