Biomedical Engineering (MS)

About this programme

The Doctor of Medicine/Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering (M.D./M.S.) program is an integrated program offered between The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science and the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. The purpose of this program is to supplement the current training of medical students with world-class training in biomedical engineering at the graduate level. This interdisciplinary educational experience will prepare students to become innovative leaders in science, engineering, and medicine. Application to the program is restricted to enrolled Columbia medical students. It makes possible the earning of both the M.D. and M.S. degree in 5 years (4 years for the M.D. program, 1 year for the M.S. program). Six points from the M.D. degree, through completion of anatomy coursework, will also count toward the Master of Science degree. Students must first be admitted to the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University and then apply separately to the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
