		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 a thesis option and a second that specifies courses only. Students who choose the master’s thesis option must register for at least 3 credits of BE 997x  and then write and defend a master’s thesis according to Institute guidelines. Those students electing the thesis option will also be required to take CM 5040 : Chemical Lab Safety. Biomedical Engineering—Medical Imaging 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 Medical Imaging track that fulfill the requirements for an MS in Biomedical Engineering. Electives
  -  See List below 3-9 Credits *
   In addition
 Once per year, biomedical engineering MS students must register for Colloquium in Biomedical Engineering (BE 9730 , 0 credits) and Seminar in Biomedical Engineering (BE 9740 , 0 credits).  For all students in the Medical Imaging track, the remaining 6 credits must be selected from the list of course electives, unless permission is granted by the biomedical engineering graduate adviser to substitute a course not listed below. Alternatively, students also may elect to take one or two biomedical engineering research courses (BE 873x ) without writing a thesis. Electives Courses
 The table below lists the elective courses that are available to students pursuing an MS degree in either the Biomaterials, Medical Imaging or Bioinstrumentation tracks.  													 |
