Submatriculation

Qualified students may be permitted to begin a graduate program towards the MSE degree while still completing their undergraduate program. Submatriculation into the MSE in Bioengineering is open to Bioengineering BSE students with GPA higher than 3.5. This MSE program is available only to current Bioengineering Undergraduate BSE students. Submatriculants may double count up to 3 courses towards both their BSE and MSE. No graduate courses taken prior to being accepted into the submatriculation program may be counted toward the master’s degree.

School regulations allow only candidates for the BSE degree to apply for submatriculation in the Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) program. However, subject to the same GPA criterion, BSE and BAS students may submatriculate into the M.B. program in Biotechnology and should refer to that program for details.

Interested students should inform and consult the Bioengineering Undergraduate and Graduate Chairs and file the proper paperwork in the Office of Academic Programs. Application into any submatriculation program can be made between the end of the sophomore year and the end of the junior year.

Following are guidelines for fulfilling the requirements for submatriculating into the MSE degree in Bioengineering. A total of 10 course units is required. Up to 2 course units of MSE research is allowed in lieu of other requirements as specified in the table below.
