Three plans
Plans give you flexibility in how you balance coursework, research, and even a job. You aren’t locked into a plan and can switch at any time.
Additional programs
A top public research university
The University of Minnesota Twin Cities is a top 10 U.S. public research university with world-class facilities.
Broad, deep research and training environment
You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with graduate faculty members who span the full spectrum of biomedical engineering.
Our 80+ faculty members represent more than 20 departments, including our own, which has particular research strengths in cardiovascular, neural, and cancer bioengineering.
Proximity to engineering, science, and medicine
We’re adjacent to the Medical School and other University of Minnesota science and engineering domains — they’re just steps away and connected by tunnels.
This proximity creates an intellectual environment where there’s:
- Interdisciplinary research.
- Engineering being applied to fundamental biological questions.
- Clinical and translational research collaborations.
A great place to live
The Minneapolis-St. Paul area offers vibrant culture and arts and abundant opportunities to enjoy the outdoors — all at a lower cost of living than cities on the east or west coast.

An inclusive, close-knit community
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is integral to departmental decision-making, including graduate admissions. In fact, we were among the first Biomedical Engineering departments with a full-time DEI Coordinator.
Students also enjoy highly engaged student groups.
