About the Concentration

The 100% online, biomedical engineering (BME) concentration offers an area of specialization for students in the Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering (MSE)/Master of Science (MS) degree. This program was created for professionals who wish to build a competitive edge in the biomedical and healthcare industries. Students in the program will focus heavily on biomedical engineering topics and technical knowledge.

Students will learn from the same renowned faculty who teach on campus at Purdue and graduate with an MSE/MS.

Purdue University’s online graduate engineering program is consistently ranked in the top three online programs by U.S. News and World Report, 2024.
