This program is available at the following location:

• Corvallis

Oregon State University, in partnership with the University of Oregon, offers a joint Master of Science (MS) in Bioengineering and a joint Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Bioengineering. Oregon State University also offers a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Bioengineering, administered by the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering. All programs are tailored to individual student needs and professional goals. A diversity of faculty interests, broadened and reinforced by cooperation between OSU and UO, makes tailored individual programs possible in various areas, including biomaterials, biomedical devices and instrumentation, human performance engineering, cell and tissue engineering, and systems and computational biology. Students can pursue programs ranging from those that are classically bioengineering to those that are distinctly interdisciplinary.

Major Code: 3080

Upon successful completion of the program, students will meet the following learning outcomes:

MEng

• Conduct research or produce some other form of creative work.
• Demonstrate mastery of subject material.
• Conduct scholarly or professional activities in an ethical manner.

MS

• Conduct research or produce some other form of creative work.
• Demonstrate mastery of subject material.
• Conduct scholarly or professional activities in an ethical manner.

PhD

• Produce and defend an original significant contribution to knowledge.
• Demonstrate mastery of subject material.
• Conduct scholarly activities in an ethical manner.

Students enrolled in the MEng and MS degree programs will complete at least 45 graduate credits. For students in the MS program, 12 of those credits must be thesis credits (BIOE 503). Students enrolled in the PhD program will complete at least 108 graduate credits. At least 27 of those credits must be non-blanket course work, and at least 36 must be thesis credits (BIOE 603).

Students in all Bioengineering graduate programs (MEng, MS and PhD) will be required to complete the program core curriculum. The remaining credits required for completion of the degree program will be electives, and may include courses in science, mathematics, engineering or other topics.

All students submit a program of study during their first quarter in the program specifying the elective courses they plan to take to complete their degree requirements. Programs of study will be reviewed by a committee of BIOE program faculty to ensure that the program has sufficient breadth and depth in the context of the student’s planned research activities.
