Master of Engineering Degree
Degree Highlights
Rutgers School of Engineering’s Master of Engineering (ME) in Biomedical Engineering is a non-thesis-based degree program that allows students to earn a master’s degree in biomedical engineering without performing research or requiring a thesis. It is a convenient, flexible option for busy professionals looking to enhance their credentials with an advanced degree. In addition to coursework and training in bioengineering fundamentals, students complete and present a term paper, project, or independent study.
