Master of Engineering Degree

Rutgers School of Engineering’s Master of Engineering (ME) in Biomedical Engineering is a non-thesis-based degree program that allows students to earn a master’s degree in biomedical engineering without performing research or requiring a thesis. It is a convenient, flexible option for busy professionals looking to enhance their credentials with an advanced degree. In addition to coursework and training in bioengineering fundamentals, students complete and present a term paper, project, or independent study.

A world-class faculty helps students master essential aspects of biomedical engineering that can lead to professional advancement and career success in a dynamic, rapidly growing field. 

Students can study any of our key focus areas: molecular systems; nanosystems and microsystems; tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering; physiologic systems; and bioinstrumentation, biomedical imaging, and neuroengineering. We also offer:
