The School of Biomedical Engineering and Science within the Nick Howley College of Engineering and Computing is a nationally recognized center of research and graduate education that strives to promote health and quality of life through education, research, and innovation that integrates engineering and life sciences in a global context.
The multidisciplinary master’s, doctoral, and certificate programs are grounded in research opportunities and are offered on both a full- and part-time basis.
Each program consists of a core curriculum that provides the necessary technical and analytical training to prepare students to apply their knowledge and skills to current problems in biology and medicine. Further areas of specialization include:
Biomaterials and tissue engineering
Biomechanics and human performance engineering
Biosensors and biomedical imaging
Bioinformatics
Neuroengineering
Students in the master's programs may also participate in an optional Graduate Co-op experience.
Drexel University is transitioning to a semester academic calendar as of fall 2027. To view the plans of study for programs in the new semester calendar, please visit the 2027–2028 Graduate Catalog.
