Program Description:

MASTER’S OF SCIENCE IN BIOENGINEERING (MSBIOE)

This program offers students interdisciplinary educational and research opportunities in bioengineering. The program offers research opportunities in collaboration with faculty of the College of Science and Technology, School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Fox School of Business and Management, and the Fox Chase Cancer Center.

Areas of bioengineering research include:

Bioimaging
Biomaterials & Biopolymers
Biomechanics and Cellular Mechanics
Biosensors & Bioinstrumentation
Drug Delivery Systems
Medical and Microfluidics Devices
Molecular Engineering
Nanotechnology & Nanomedicine
Neuroengineering
Orthopedics
Polymer Engineering
Regenerative Medicine and Engineering
Stem Cell Engineering
Tissue Engineering

Most research involves interdisciplinary collaborative projects with other basic sciences and clinical investigators at Temple University and/or other institutions. In addition to required core courses, students can take certain bioengineering and related electives.

The M.S. in Bioengineering can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Students can fulfill the degree requirements by either completing the research (master’s thesis or research project) or non-research (coursework-only) option. Thesis research may be mentored by faculty within the College of Engineering, the College of Science and Technology, or the School of Medicine. Alternatively, students may complete a 3 semester hour research project carried out in conjunction with an industrial partner, or a project of interest to a faculty mentor. Students can also complete a coursework-only option with the permission of the department graduate coordinator.
