Master of Science [M.S] [Biomedical Engineering] From University of Nevada

You can choose from two degree options:

• Plan A: Requires core and specialized coursework and a thesis on an area of interest in biomedical engineering.
• Plan B: The coursework-only option requires additional coursework credits in lieu of a thesis. Students choosing this option will not be eligible for graduate assistantships.

Both programs require students to complete core coursework as well as classes in three focal areas.

Areas of proficiency

One of the strengths of our program is the wide range of specializations students can choose from. Students must choose three areas of proficiency from the list below, with at least one coming from the area of life and medical sciences and one from engineering and physical sciences. Proficiency will be assessed based on coursework (typically two semesters at the graduate level) and a comprehensive exam.
