A research-intensive Ph.D. program that provides advanced, interdisciplinary training in biomedical engineering, preparing students to lead at the frontiers of biomedical science and biotechnology. Students engage in original research under close faculty mentorship, leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and collaborative environments across Syracuse University and SUNY Upstate Medical University.
A minimum of 42 credit hours is required for the completion of the Ph.D. degree. No credits are given for dissertation research. A student entering the Ph.D. program with a M.S. degree may apply up to 30 credits toward the required coursework, with the approval of the program director. A minimum of three years of graduate study is required and students typically complete all requirements within five years.
Biomedical engineering Ph.D. students may be interested in the interdisciplinary training program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Visit the Emergent Intelligence Graduate Training Program (EMIRGE) to learn more about the fully funded research fellowship opportunities.
