Graduate Program
The Rowan University Department of Biomedical Engineering offers a variety of graduate degree programs to equip students with a solid foundation of fundamentals in engineering and life sciences and prepare them to solve contemporary biomedical problems. We offer the Ph.D., MS (thesis and non-thesis), accelerated MS (thesis and non-thesis), MD/Ph.D., and DO/Ph.D. degrees and programs.
Rowan Biomedical Engineering graduate students are trained to use engineering approaches to solve a novel state of the art biomedical problem through hands on experiences and close faculty mentoring. Areas of biomedical research include, biomaterials engineering, tissue engineering, biomechanics, biomedical robotics, drug delivery, biomolecule detection, immunoengineering, neurodegeneration/regeneration, synthetic biology, and synthetic biology. Students in the biomedical engineering graduate programs benefit from partnerships with physicians at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University and Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, which leads to translation of their research into the clinic. Students in research intensive programs publish their findings in top peer reviewed journals and present their work at national and international conferences.
Graduate students have the opportunity to work on world-class research (funded by NIH, NSF, DOD, AHA and others) within state of the art facilities at our main campus (Engineering Hall, opened 2017) and the Cooper Medical School Campus (Camden Joint Health Science Center Building, opened September 2019). A focus on patient centered technologies at the forefront of Henry Rowan College of Engineering’s biomedical engineering discipline, as well as a growing business school on the main campus, allows students to take advantage of South Jersey Technology Park at Rowan University, which fosters the translation of applied research into commercial products and processes.
