Wilkes University College of Business and Engineering 22 courses
Points of Contact: Abas Sabouni, Ph.D., Woojun Lee, PhD Program Features Wilkes University’s Master of Science degree in Bioengineering combines engineering concepts and analysis with biology, medicine, health, and computer science to teach students the fundamentals of developing new medical devices, treatments and materials. The 36-credit program offers students the opportunity to select from one of two available majors, Biomedical Engineering or Synthetic Biology. Biomedical Engineers develop artificial limbs, joints, tissues and organs as well as design diagnostic equipment, monitoring devices and drug delivery systems. Synthetic Biologists create organisms, which either produce useful biochemicals for therapeutic applications, or perform unique functions, such as creating useful biochemicals for therapeutic and industrial applications or detecting or detoxifying biohazardous chemicals. Students will have the opportunity to work with faculty who are leaders in their fields, including specialists in the latest medical device designs, imaging systems, bioengineering and metabolic technologies. Admissions Requirements The Wilkes program is designed for those with a bachelor’s degree in engineering or biology seeking training in bioengineering and also for those seeking to strengthen credentials for medical or other professional schools. Individuals with undergraduate degrees in other science disciplines may also be considered. Applicants must submit an online application,...
