Bioengineering (M.Eng.)
Earning a master’s degree can be the key to unlocking your career potential or entering the world of entrepreneurship. In fact, earning an advanced degree can translate into better career growth prospects and higher annual salaries of up to $15,000 compared to those with an undergraduate degree alone. The Bioengineering (BioE) graduate program at UNH provides you with advanced training and experience in one of the many areas, including computational bioengineering, biochemical and biomedical engineering, electrochemical methods, advanced materials, and microfluidics. The master’s degree program concludes with an engineering project which may be completed with an industrial sponsor.
Admission Requirements
An applicant to the Master of Engineering program will have completed a baccalaureate degree in engineering or a related field. Students with good undergraduate records in the science fields may be admitted provided they learn specific math and engineering skills that are aimed at successful completion of the Master of Engineering program requirements. Applicants must submit current scores (within five years) from the general test of the Graduate Record Examination. International students are required to submit TOEFL test scores. IELTS scores are accepted on a case-by-case basis, and students must have a minimum score of 6.5.
