Biomedical Engineering University of Wisconsin Milwaukee

Overview

The Biomedical Engineering master’s program at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is designed for working professionals and aspiring researchers. Students may choose either a thesis option or a non-thesis option and must include graduate level biomedical courses. 

Key facts

The thesis option allows our biomedical engineering master’s degree students to pursue advanced coursework leading to an original research project, supervised by a faculty advisor. Naturally, we encourage students to pursue the development of a thesis.

However, if you have prior engineering or scientific work experience and are seeking an MS for professional advancement, the non-thesis option is a great alternative that requires additional coursework in lieu of a thesis.

Many students choose to incorporate Teaching Assistantships (TAs) or Research Assistantships (RAs) during their graduate study which helps to fund their education while also building leadership skills. Assistantship decisions are made by the academic departments only after an applicant has been accepted into the program.
