Graduate program options
The following degree programs are offered:
- Five-year bachelor's/master's program
- M.S. in biomedical engineering (thesis option)
- M.S. in healthcare technologies management (non-thesis degree), offered jointly with the Medical College of Wisconsin
- M.E. in biomedical engineering
- Ph.D. in biomedical engineering
- Ph.D. in functional imaging (jointly offered with the Medical College of Wisconsin)
For more information, please reference the Department of Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Handbook.
The department offers more than 30 graduate courses in support of these programs, and there many additional courses offered at MCW and within other departments at Marquette.
More than 60 departmental faculty participate in research, including 13 regular biomedical engineering faculty; 10 faculty with primary appointments in other Marquette departments;and about 40 research and adjunct faculty, most with primary appointments at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Our close ties to the Medical College's Graduate School are reflected in two joint Marquette University/Medical College of Wisconsin degree programs: functional imaging and healthcare technologies management, both of which have been accelerated by Whitaker Special Opportunity Awards. Another Whitaker award is strengthening these ties in rehabilitative bioengineering, plus supporting the development of five new rehabilitation research laboratories on the Marquette campus.
Graduate research activities include the following general areas:
- Systems physiology and modeling
- Bioinstrumentation and biosensors
- Functional imaging (fMRI, micro X-ray)
- Medical and biological image analysis
- Tissue biomechanics and biomaterials
- Prosthetics/orthotics/artificial limbs
- Head and spinal trauma
