Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering 0 courses 30 total credits
The master’s degree program is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in research and development, or as a step toward Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. education. The program has two degree options: a course-based plan consisting of 30 credits and a thesis-based track that requires 30 credits plus a thesis project which is completed in a second year. Students must complete at least 30 credits of approved coursework to satisfy the course-based degree option requirements. Students are encouraged to select a focus area and complete coursework primarily within that discipline but specific focus area coursework is not required. In addition to standard coursework, MSE students have the option to count up to six credits of research (three credits per semester with a confirmed lab), 3 credits of an advanced teaching practicum, as well as up to two seminars (typically one credit each) towards their overall 30 credits. Each student will take 30 credits at the graduate-level (the same as first year students). Thesis track students must also complete a thesis based on a research topic requiring application of quantitative or applied engineering principles to biomedical engineering. Students must maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA on all courses in every semester in which they are enrolled. The final checklist of degree-counting courses must also equal or exceed a 3.0 GPA. Students may only count up to two C graded courses towards their degree. C graded courses can be C-, C, and/or C+ grades. Students who have completed their coursework requirements and are working on their thesis must maintain passing research grades (P) for the fall and spring semesters. P grades are not factored into GPA calculation. Students who fail to earn the required GPA by the end of the semester will be placed on academic probation.
