Combined Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) - MS in Biomedical Engineering Program

SUNY Stony Brook University

The Department also offers a five-year accelerated B.E./M.S. degree, which can be completed with one additional year of study beyond the Bachelor's degree. The accelerated B.E./M.S. is intended to prepare high-achieving and highly-motivated undergraduate BME students for either doctoral studies or a variety of advanced professional positions. The program is highly selective with admission based on academic performance as well as previous undergraduate research. Juniors can be admitted into the accelerated degree program if they satisfy the requirements outlined in the Graduate Bulletin. The requirements for the accelerated program are the same as the requirements for the B.E. and M.S. degree, except that two graduate 500-level courses replace two 300- or 400-level technical electives, so that a maximum of six graduate credits are counted toward the undergraduate degree.Important features of this combined degree program are that students must apply to the program through the BME Graduate Program Director during their junior year. A Google Form will be sent to all BME juniors in February/March. Once accepted, they are considered to be a graduate student in all regards. We have prepared a sample course sequence for the combined BE/MS program. Although graduate technical elective courses can apply towards the BE (the undergraduate degree), students must indicate whether the course is intended to be applied for the BE or the MS courses cannot apply to both degrees.
