Ph.D. Program
- 2 Core courses (completion of a physiology course & Matlab exam are required before enrolling in these courses)
- BME 380J.6 Analysis of Biomedical Engineering Systems I
- BME 380J. 7 Analysis of Biomedical Engineering Systems II
- 1 required biostats course
- BME 380J.5 Biostatistics, Study Design & Research methodology
- 5 graduate-level courses to be approved by supervising professor
Required minimum of 24 hours (approximately 8 courses). All courses must be taken for a grade. The Graduate Advisor may require additional courses based upon the supervising professor's or thesis committee's recommendations. The MS is recommended but not required on the way to the PhD (unless recommended by the student's research supervisor).
Qualifying Exam
Students must complete the core courses and not receive any grades of B or lower, and maintain an overall 3.0 minimum GPA. In addition, students must prepare an NSF or NIH style proposal on the research topic written by the student independently, presented orally and defended in front of the PhD committee by the end of the second year.
Teaching Assistant (TA) Requirements
All PhD students are expected to TA two long semesters during their tenure at UT. We recommend that students serve sometime in their first and third years, but the timing of this service will depend on the needs of the department and the advice of the student's research supervisor.
