Overview
Both Biomedical Engineering programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute offer the students a significant amount of additional breadth and depth over a B.S. degree.
Key Features
- The coursework requirements for a Ph.D. and a Master degree are similar, but the Ph.D. program involves a substantially larger amount of research than the M.S./M.Eng. program.
- Master degrees commonly require 1-1.5 years to complete while students usually spend 4-5 years in the PhD program. It is not required to have completed a Master degree prior to obtaining a Ph.D. Admissions requirements are the same for all graduate programs.

- The Biomedical Engineering Department offers two different routes for Master's degrees: (1) The Master of Science (M.S.) is a Master's degree that requires a thesis and (2) the Master of Engineering (M.Eng) is a coursework-only Master's degree.
- 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.
