The Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program is administered through the Rutgers School of Graduate Studies, and is also a joint venture between the School of Engineering and the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, which is part of the Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences. The program includes over 75 faculty from Rutgers' science and engineering departments, Robert Wood Johnson, and other academic institutions in the area, as well as local industry contacts.
Embark on a journey through the core of Biomedical Engineering with our curated courses. From Bioimaging to Biomaterials, each class integrates essential biomedical knowledge with practical applications. Dive into the dynamics of stem cell biology and master physiological complexities, all grounded in mathematical modeling and biostatistics. Prepare to innovate at the intersection of technology and biology.
Our faculty members are committed to research, often in collaboration with industry and other disciplines, to advance the state of knowledge and practice in our field. With a focus on key areas of critical importance to national competitiveness and productivity, our faculty members have achieved international recognition for their contributions to these areas. Both the curriculum and laboratories are designed to support these research focus areas:
We also offer an NIH Biotechnology Training Program for our outstanding PhD students with an integrated, multidisciplinary, educational and research training experience in biotechnology.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering proudly introduces its suite of advanced research facilities, each designed to foster innovation and exploration across our diverse study fields.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers offers unparalleled access to leaders and innovators in a wide range of research areas, including: molecular systems bioengineering, biomaterials and tissue engineering, bionanotechnology, biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, and biomedical imaging.
Find the admission requirement, deadline, step-by-step application guidelines, and start your application here!
A complete application for the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program consists of the electronic application, three letters of recommendation, the application fee, official transcripts from previous academic institutions, a personal statement which addresses the reasons for interest in graduate study, and TOEFL scores (if an international applicant). GRE General Test scores are required for PhD applicants and are strongly preferred for MS/ME applicants.
ALL PhD applications must be received by December 15 for consideration for the Fall cycle. Supporting material must be received shortly thereafter so that the Admissions Committee can begin reviewing application in January. ALL MS and ME applications and supporting material must be received by March 1 for consideration for the Fall cycle. BME at Rutgers admits students primarily for the fall terms.
