The Department of Biomedical
Engineering (BME) at Michigan State
University offers a competitive, research-oriented
doctoral program with flexible
and personalized curriculums. The
The department is housed in a state-of-the-art
research facility comprised of faculty
who are highly collaborative, driving
a research program integrating across
research disciplines.
The department aims to engage faculty
across departments, colleges, and
disciplines to explore the intersection
of medicine, human biology, and
engineering research, design, and
practice. Transdisciplinary programs
are essential in the development of
new areas of research. Departments
from across all areas of the College
of Engineering work to develop new
methods for understanding, diagnosing,
and treating medical conditions
and translating discoveries from the
laboratory to the classroom and the
clinic.
Biomedical research and resources of the
College of Engineering is enhanced
by collaborations with many other MSU
Colleges, including Human Medicine,
Osteopathic Medicine, Veterinary
Medicine, Nursing, Natural Science, and
Communication Arts and Sciences.
The Biomedical Engineering program
offers unique opportunities to develop
a parallel set of skills and experiences
to complement academic and scientific
training, which positions trainees for a
wide variety of career options, including
academic, government, industry,
nonprofit, and law. As a part of the core
curriculum class BioDesign IQ, graduate
students in the department have the
opportunity to shadow physicians in
order to gain the knowledge necessary
to solve core clinical problems. As a
department, we encourage students to
think outside the box and apply their
training in new and innovative ways to
achieve the shared goal of ensuring 100
years of health for all people.
