Doctoral Degree Electives

The BME program requires one Life Science/Medical Elective as part of the PhD program. The purpose of the Life Science/Medical Elective is to formally provide the opportunity for students to gain the depth in a biological or medical field that augments their dissertation research. As such, students should take their Life Science/Medical elective after they have selected a laboratory and a dissertation subject.  

The following courses may count as a Life Science/Medical Elective. 
16:125:582 Nano-And Micro-Engineered Biointerfaces
