Interviewing:

After the initial screening of applications by the School of Biomedical Engineering faculty, candidates for our Ph.D program will be invited to campus to interview for admission. This is also an opportunity for candidates to see campus, meet current and other prospective students, and learn more about the program.

All applicants must submit the following:

  • Professional Resume or Vita - Submit via mail or email as an attachment.
  • Statement of Purpose - The statement of purpose is typically 1 - 2 pages and briefly describes your background, educational goals, research interests and why you would be a good fit in the program. May be mailed or emailed as an attachment.
