Brown's masters in biomedical engineering (BME) offers a flexible curriculum with research opportunities in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and biomedical imaging. Customize your degree through interdisciplinary coursework and research projects across multiple areas of biomedical engineering.

Brown's masters in biomedical engineering prepares students for careers in biomedical technology through interdisciplinary coursework, research opportunities, clinical experiences and internships or co-ops in areas including tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biomedical imaging, biomaterials and biomechanics.

Students can pursue research opportunities with faculty at the Warren Alpert Medical School while taking interdisciplinary coursework across engineering, biology, neuroscience, public health and computer science. The program also offers clinical experiences at nearby teaching hospitals, as well as internships and co-ops with companies commercializing biomedical technologies.

Bioengineering and biomedical engineering are closely related fields that both combine engineering with the biological sciences. Brown's master's focuses on biomedical engineering, preparing students at the intersection of engineering, biology and medicine through interdisciplinary coursework and research opportunities in areas such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biomedical imaging, biomaterials, nanotechnology and biomechanics.

Brown offers two master's degree options in biomedical engineering. The master of science (Sc.M.) includes advanced coursework and a research or design thesis and is typically completed in two years. The master of engineering (M.Eng.) is a coursework-only degree with no thesis and can typically be completed in one to two years.
