Note, the courses offered as electives may have hidden prerequisites. It is the responsibility of the student to assure that all prerequisites are met prior to registration for these courses.
5000-level courses are typically restricted based on amount of total credit hours completed, GPA, and available seats after graduate student registration. Please contact the department's undergraduate academic advisor regarding registering for 5000-level courses.
To obtain a minor in Biomedical Engineering (BME) students must first be accepted into the BME minor program. Once accepted, a student must take 6 hours of required coursework, 6 hours of approved elective courses, and 6 hours of approved BME research for a total of 18 credits. No pass/fail courses will be accepted.
