Graduate Program

Overview

​The Biomedical Engineering (BME) PhD program in the College of Engineering is built on an advanced core curriculum that encourages students to expand their knowledge in specific areas related to their research interests.

With research areas spanning musculoskeletal biomechanics, drug delivery and nanomedicine, cell and tissue engineering, disease modeling, and neuroengineering and rehabilitation, the PhD program in BME at UD offers both academic rigor and flexibility to meet the needs of students with different interests and backgrounds. The department offers a safe, equitable and inclusive environment for researchers from diverse backgrounds.

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering, BME graduate students may work with advisors from a variety of research areas who have primary appointments in the BME department or in other departments at UD. Faculty advisors, along with the dissertation committee, are responsible for defining the student’s research responsibilities and for evaluating the student’s performance.
