M.S. Application Procedure

Admissions Requirements 

One of the major strengths of our program is that it is interdisciplinary. Therefore, it attracts students with many different undergraduate backgrounds, not only in different engineering disciplines, but also from other STEM-related fields such as physics, chemistry and biology. 

• Have a baccalaureate degree in a STEM-related field (or performed well in STEM-related courses). A typical applicant will have a 3.0 GPA out of 4.0 in the undergraduate degree, with scores being just one component of our holistic review process to determine a student's admissibility.
• GRE scores are no longer required for admission. We strongly recommend you submit score reports if you have taken the GRE. However, admissions committees may request additional information or interviews as an alternative means of evaluating applicants’ qualifications.
• Submit two letters of recommendation
• Submit a resume
• Submit a personal statement that discusses the rationale for pursuing the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering
• International students must have a TOEFL score of 550 (80 on the internet based test) or better

Please send an e-mail to Prof. Bingmei Fu (BME MS Advisor) at bfu@ccny.cuny.edu for further inquiries.

We currently do not provide funding for incoming MS students. However, students who have shown a strong track record and participate in a research project for their master’s thesis may receive funding from their mentors pending availability of funds. Strong candidates who continue their studies by entering the Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. program do receive funding from their Ph.D. advisor.
