Overview

The Biomedical Engineering degree program at The University of New Mexico is designed to develop both scholarship and technical expertise as the foundations for continuing scientific activity and contributions. While some students enter the PhD program after obtaining a Master’s degree, it is often preferable to design a program for the PhD that bypasses the MS degree.

Features

The typical time to completion of the PhD degree is 4-6 years. The BMEGP is an intensive research-based PhD program; therefore, students who fail to identify a research mentor and secure financial support beyond the second academic year, may be asked to leave the program.
