The Master of Science degree program in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Columbia University offers world-class biomedical engineering education and opportunities for cutting edge research and innovation.

The mission of the MS program is to prepare talented students from diverse backgrounds to become innovative, socially responsible leaders in engineering, science, and medicine. Graduates from our MS program have landed top positions in the medical device industry and at engineering consulting firms, have founded their own medical technology companies, and have gone on to advanced graduate studies in engineering and professional studies in medicine. The MS degree program in the Department of BME at Columbia University offers a surprising mix of the intellectual atmosphere of an Ivy League institution and the sense of community of a small college, enriched by the diversity of New York City.

MS students select a program of 30 credits of graduate courses (4000 level or above) appropriate to their career goals. Course selection is completed in consultation with an appointed faculty academic advisor. This program must include the course in computational modeling of physiological systems (BMEN E6003); two semesters of biomedical engineering seminar (BMEN E9700); at least four other biomedical engineering courses; and at least one graduate-level applied mathematics course (excluding statistics). Most MS students complete their degree over 3 semesters (i.e., Fall 1, Spring, Fall 2) and participate in internships or research experiences over the summer.
