		The Curriculum
 Requirements for the Master of Science Each track within the BME MS program includes two options. The first specifies course requirements that include research with submission of a master’s thesis. The second option specifies course requirements plus research performed as guided studies. Students who choose the master’s thesis option must register for 6 credits of BE-GY 997x and then write and defend a master’s thesis according to School guidelines. Those students electing the thesis option will also be required to take training in laboratory safety. Biomedical Engineering-Bioinstrumentation Track
 To meet graduation requirements, students must achieve an overall B average in all courses (including MS thesis, research or guided studies) and must not have more than two grades of C in required (core) subjects.  Listed below are required (core) courses for students in the Bioinstrumentation track that fulfill the requirements for an MS in Biomedical Engineering. Electives
  - You may choose up to 9 credits from the list of electives below, subject to the Research option chosen.
   In addition
 Once per year, biomedical engineering MS students must register for Colloquium in Biomedical Engineering (BE-GY 9730 , 0 credits) and Seminar in Biomedical Engineering (BE-GY 9740 , 0 credits).  For all students in the Bioinstrumentation track, remaining credits (up to 9 credits) must be selected from the list of electives, unless permission is granted by the biomedical engineering graduate adviser to substitute a course not listed below.
