Engineering in Healthcare Certificate

The Engineering in Healthcare graduate certificate offers didactic education and optional hands-on research experience in the application of engineering principles to healthcare problems. This 5 course/15 credit-hour (minimum) certificate is designed for students with a Bachelor’s degree in engineering, chemistry, math or physics. Completion of the program will help students to:

1. distinguish themselves academically from their competition to professional school programs
2. engage in relevant educational experiences (including research) in the “gap year” between undergraduate studies and professional school
3. provide the foundation for enduring academic success by helping improve academic preparedness for professional school curricula
4. explore Biomedical Engineering as an adjunct (or primary) healthcare career option without formally committing to the master’s degree program.

Students who complete this certificate have the option to apply most of the credits earned towards the Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering.
