Graduate Programs in Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary program and a joint effort of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, the Purdue School of Science, and the Indiana University Schools of Medicine and Dentistry at Indiana University–Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). In addition to these participating academic units, the program operates in close collaboration with several centers and facilities on campus, and with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette.

The department also offers an accelerated combined bachelor's and master's degree programs which allows academically successful students the opportunity to earn both B.S. and M.S. degrees in a total of five years.  For more information about the 5-year B.S./M.S.B.M.E. combined degree program visit:  https://et.iupui.edu/departments/bme/programs/undergrad/5yearBsMs/.

Students interested in the M.S.B.M.E. degree may apply directly to the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology.  Qualified research-oriented students may plan to pursue a Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering at IUPUI.
