Combining an undergraduate engineering degree with UND's Master's in Biomedical Engineering (M.S.) gives you the opportunity to focus your interests on medical devices, computer programming or another area that excites you.

The accelerated B.S./M.S biomedical engineering degree is offered campus or online. Qualified students can apply for entry to the master's program after completing 90 credits. You may be able to complete the requirements for both degrees in about 5 years. Even if you choose to participate online, you'll enjoy the same attention from faculty and in-class interaction you're used to receiving while here.

How the Accelerated Biomedical Engineering Degree Works

If you are an incoming freshman or transfer student, apply to UND and your program. As a current student, connect with your advisor to make sure you stay on track for the combined or accelerated program. During your junior year, you can officially apply to the School of Graduate Studies. Complete the required courses, and you'll earn both your undergraduate and graduate degree at the same time.
