About the Bioengineering Master’s Program

The master of science in bioengineering program is a thesis option program with four interdisciplinary tracks:

• Biomechanics  (Department of Mechanical Engineering)
• Biomedical Signals and Systems  (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering)
• Biochemical Processes  (Department of Chemical Engineering)
• Occupational Ergonomics  (Department of Industrial Engineering)

Faculty in the bioengineering area are heavily involved with research activities that require collaboration from scientists and clinicians in the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

Students are required to take 24 credit hours of coursework and six credit hours of thesis. Of the 24 hours of coursework, nine hours are pre-determined core credits for all participating students in all tracks, six hours are prescribed electives to be taken in the home department, and nine hours are free electives. The free electives may be taken in any of the four departments participating in the degree.
