Biomedical Engineering Math Requirement
Approved BMES Math Courses
M.S. students must complete a minimum of three credits of mathematics coursework approved by the advisory committee.
Ph.D. students must complete a minimum of six credits of mathematics coursework approved by the student's advisory committee. No more than three hours may be in statistics; however, the math requirement does not require statistics.

Note:
Engineering courses often have considerable mathematics content; however, these courses will not count toward the mathematics requirement but can be used to fulfill the engineering course requirement.
Students should always check with their advisor or graduate program committee before signing up for a math course to determine if specific math courses are applicable to their individual needs.
