There are 24 credit hours of technical coursework required for the M.S.E. with Thesis (approximately 8 technical 3-credit hour courses), as well as 6 credit hours of thesis hours coursework, for a total of 30 credit hours required. Six 6 of the 24 technical coursework hours credit hours (2 classes) can be either graduate-level for credit/no credit or upper division undergraduate level for a letter grade.

Five 5 of the six 8 required graduate-level courses (three credits each, 15 credits out of 18 totalhours) must be:

  • A graduate-level course in biological or clinical sciences
  • A graduate-level course in basic or applied math, or statistics
  • Graduate-level courses in three of the following:
    • Technical Area 1 (imaging, instrumentation)
    • Technical Area 2 (biomaterials, tissue engineering, drug delivery)
    • Technical Area 3 (modeling, informatics)
    • Technical Area 4 (biomechanics)

...

  • Biological or Clinical Sciences
  • Basic or Applied Mathematics
    • To meet this requirement, a statistics course is encouraged, but another mathematics topic may be approved in some circumstances.
  • Students must take a course from three of the four technical areas below:
    • Technical Area 1: Biomedical Imaging and Instrumentation
    • Technical Area 2: Cellular and Biomolecular Engineering
    • Technical Area 3: Computational Biomedical Engineering
    • Technical Area 4: Biomechanics
  • A list of courses that count toward these areas and other technical courses can be found on UT Box here.
    • Please note this list is not exhaustive–if you find another course that you wish to count toward the above requirements, please send the course name and number to Dr. Andrew Dunn, the Graduate Adviser, for request to count prior to taking the course. A syllabus for the course may also be requested.

 

6 hours of thesis are required:

  • BME 698A and 698B (total of 6 hours)

 

Program of Work

The Program of Work is a form students complete to report their coursework completion status. 

All versions of the Program of Work for the MSE and PhD programs can be found on UT Box at https://utexas.box.com/v/BMEGradForms. The Box folder can also be accessed on the Current Student Resources and Forms page on the BME graduate program website, under the "Forms" section heading. 

Students are to complete the Program of Work that corresponds with their respective degree program and year of entry into the graduate program.
