The mission of the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is to educate students with strong engineering and science backgrounds for Master’s and/or Ph.D. degrees in biomedical engineering. Graduates in BME typically apply their skills and training directly to engineering solutions to clinical problems in medicine. The BME mission is accomplished through a core program of study that has strong collaborations with faculty in the Colleges of Engineering and Medicine. The J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is part of the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and is a prime resource for biomedical engineering education, training, research, and technology development. BME is an ever-evolving field that applies engineering principles to the study of biology and medicine to improve health care.
Degrees offered include: Doctor of Philosophy, Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis options), and Master of Engineering (thesis and non-thesis options). More details regarding these degrees and the minimum entry requirements are provided at http://www.bme.ufl.edu/academics/graduate.
The Biomedical Engineering Department's faculty members collaborate with joint, affiliate, and adjunct faculty from many other departments in the College of Engineering and the College of Medicine, as well as with local industry. This diversity ensures students the highest-quality education and a range of opportunities for cutting-edge research.
Areas of Research within these graduate programs include
- Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine
- Biomechanics and Bionics
- Biomedical Imaging and Applications
- Molecular and Cellular Engineering
- Modeling and Biomedical Data Science
- Neural Engineering
