Minor in Biomedical Engineering

How it works

You may submit a request to add or remove a minor with the Graduate Minor Request form (UMN login required). Once this form is submitted, it will be routed for review by the department, then routed to GSSP for processing. You'll receive notifications to your University email account after each step is complete.

All courses for the graduate minor in Biomedical Engineering must be:

• At the 5000 level or higher.
• Taken for a letter grade (A-F).

MS minor requirements

The Master’s minor in BME requires a minimum of 6 credits, which must include:

• One BMEn Core course (either 5000- or 8000-level).

• One additional BMEn course at the 5000 level or higher.

PhD minor requirements

The PhD minor in BME requires a minimum of 12 credits, which must include:

• Two courses from the BMEn Core list (can be 5000- or 8000-level).

• One course with a primarily biological emphasis (see Biology Electives list).

• One additional course with an engineering emphasis (see Technical Electives list).
