Overview

Key facts

The Biomedical Engineering program at Boston University requires students to establish the necessary foundation in molecular- or systems-level biology/physiology and mathematics, in addition to advanced biomedical engineering coursework. All students are required to complete a practicum. Students may satisfy the practicum requirement by completing an approved project. Alternatively, students may satisfy the practicum requirement by developing a research focus and carrying out original research that culminates in a written thesis.

The program is designed to be completed by full-time students in one calendar year. Students choosing to complete a thesis should expect to complete the program in two years. Students who excel in the BME MS program are encouraged to continue in the BME post-MS PhD program.

MS Thesis

An MS thesis must be written and defended successfully for satisfy the requirements of the MS with Thesis degree. Note that in order for a student to make full use of the critiques on the proposal offered by his/her committee, students are not permitted to defend the final thesis the same semester in which the proposal was submitted. A full description of the format requirements for the written thesis is located on the BME website. The format described in this guide must be adhered to when writing the thesis. Mugar Library will not accept the thesis if it does not follow the required format. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm a date and time of the presentation with his/her committee members. The MS Thesis Defense Approval Form must be completed—this form should include title, abstract, names of committee members, and advisor’s signatures. Once a date has been confirmed, the date and location, along with a copy of the abstract, must be submitted to the BME Graduate Program Administrator at least eight business days prior to the presentation date. The abstract must have the names of the student and research advisor listed together with the project title. The BME Graduate Program Administrator will process the announcement of the thesis defense to the Biomedical Engineering faculty and graduate students via email.
