Research Locations
Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. students are expected to perform cutting edge research
and must be selected by a research faculty member to join their research group or
act as advisor. Most of these students will be required to complete research work
in person, or possibly at research facilities at your own location, which will depend
on the project, thesis topic and faculty advisor to determine how much of the program
can be completed online.
Campus Visit
Online Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering candidates are required to visit the UND campus
in Grand Forks, ND. A minimum of three campus visits are required and you'll need
to make a presentation during each visit. One of these presentations can be the oral
presentation for the qualifying exam. Additionally, a Ph.D. candidate should be present
for the Ph.D. dissertation defense.
Flexible Online Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. Courses
With asynchronous classes, you do not attend class at a set time. If you need to balance
work, family, and other commitments, this flexible format allows you to learn anywhere
at any time.
Depending on your instructor, you’ll learn online through:
- Lesson modules
- Streaming video content
- Virtual libraries
- Posted lectures
- Online simulations
There will be times when you interact with your instructor and classmates through
online discussion boards, polls, and chat rooms.
Your learning revolves around materials that can be accessed on your own time within
a set time frame. However, this is not a self-paced course. You’ll have structure
and deadlines.
