Every course of study must be approved by the student's assigned faculty
advisor. Specific course selection is very flexible and draws upon a variety
of courses that are available in the College of Engineering.
In addition, there are numerous courses available to BME graduate students in the School of Medicine and Public Health
and in other UW-Madison schools and colleges.
Students can select specialization courses to satisfy their own particular
interests. Some examples of engineering courses for several MS. depth
specializations are listed here:
