Biomedical Engineering
Degree: PhD
Biomedical Engineering Program
Objectives: Emory University and The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) offer a joint PhD degree program in Biomedical Engineering through a joint Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME). The degree, the first of its kind uniting a public and private institution, is unique in its academic and intellectual content and training. The degree is jointly conferred by both Georgia Tech and Emory through the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Graduates of this program will be well qualified for positions in teaching and research facilities, educational and medical institutions, industry, hospitals, law and government, and regulatory agencies at both the national and international levels. Graduate study in biomedical engineering for technologically oriented medical students combines an understanding of advanced technology with direct patient care and/or clinical research.Additional Information: Students admitted to the joint PhD program are required to fulfill the following prerequisites prior to matriculation: BS in Engineering or Life Sciences; one year of calculus based physics; one year of organic chemistry; Calculus and ordinary differential equations.
The PhD program will concentrate on six thrust areas: Cardiovascular mechanics and biology; Cellular and tissue engineering; Neurosciences/engineering; Biomedical imaging; Biomedical modeling and computing; Cancer technology.
