MSc in
Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering The George Washington University - School of Engineering & Applied Science
Introduction
Program Overview
The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is designed to prepare students to apply engineering principles to problems in medicine and biology; to understand and model attributes of living systems, and to synthesize biomedical systems and devices in order to improve human health.
The program is strongly interdisciplinary, as students choose from a large array of areas of study across the university, such as biology, public health, and regulatory affairs.
Course topics may also include cancer therapy, cardiac electrophysiology, biosensors, microfluidics, medical imaging, and image analysis, optogenetics, robotics, and ultrasound applications in medicine.
With the university's central location in Washington, DC, students are able to take full advantage of opportunities available at nearby research and government institutions, including the GW Hospital, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Children's National Medical Center.
