Graduate Degree Requirements

 

Biomedical Engineering and Medicine

The Biomedical Engineering Department, in conjunction with Albany Medical College, is developing the Physician Engineer program in which students will be able to earn a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Rensselaer and an M.D. from Albany Medical College.  The program could be completed within seven to eight years (seven, with an increased engineering course load), and is being planned with an optional research component.  The MCAT requirement will be waived for this combined program.

A program is also being developed for students to pursue a BS/MD/Ph.D with an expected completion time of ten years.  At the graduate level, a MD/Ph.D. program is being drafted, targeted to students with previous research experience and a BS in Engineering.
