Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering

at Medical College of Wisconsin

Upon enrolling in the doctoral (Ph.D.) program in biomedical engineering, a student selects their area of specialization. Faculty design a curriculum and research program to address the specific goals of each student. Programs include course work in engineering, biology, mathematics and medicine, all of which are integrated with research laboratory experience.

The Ph.D. degree is conferred in recognition of marked ability and high attainment in the advancement of knowledge and pursuit of truth. The comprehensive knowledge expected of the student in their major field is such that the requirements for the degree usually take no less than four years of full-time work, or the equivalent, beyond the baccalaureate degree.
