Applicants with a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering
Applicants must meet the entrance requirements of the Graduate Schools at UTA and UT Southwestern for admission into the Joint Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering. Please see the graduate catalogs for details and the specific requirements of BME program.
Application can be made to either institution, with the admitting institution designated as the "home" campus. However, domestic students entering the program through UTA have the option of registering as either part-time or full-time students. Domestic students who enter the program through UTSW are expected to register for full-time course loads throughout their graduate studies. A full course load is a minimum of nine graduate credit hours during the fall and spring semesters and six credit hours during the summer. International students must register for a full course load, regardless of "home" campus status.
Other factors influencing home campus selection are personal in nature, especially living arrangements and small differences in registration fees. Students fulfilling any deficiency course requirements must enroll at UTA. Part-time students must enroll at UTA, although they may take a total of nine credit hours as a "Special Student" at UTSW.
Applicants with a Bachelor's Degree in the Biological, Physical or Mathematical Sciences
Applicants without a bachelor's degree in engineering discipline are required to take remedial course work in engineering. A complete list of required undergraduate engineering courses can be found in Appendix A (Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Preparatory Courses), which lists the required courses for all tracks mentioned in section 3 except the Molecular and Computational Biomedical Engineering track. Preparatory courses for the Molecular and Computational Biomedical Engineering track is determined by the graduate advisor, based on the student's background. Applicants should try to apply to UTA for home campus. Admissions into Graduate School is may be deferred pending the completion of undergraduate engineering courses (see part I, Appendix A) with letter grades of A or B. Once admitted into the program, students are encouraged to meet with the BME graduate advisor for more information.
Application Materials and Deadlines
Information and admission materials may be requested either through the BME program office (UTA or UTSW), the graduate school admissions office (UTA), or the registrar's office (UTSW). Questions may be addressed to the program director. When preparing the application, the applicant should carefully indicate the reasons for entry into the Biomedical Engineering Program. Applicants with specific interests are encouraged to state them. Acceptance into the program requires the approval of the UTA Committee and the Dean of the Graduate School at the entry institution.
Application deadlines of UTA are printed in the UTA graduate catalog. For the U.S. students, the admission deadlines are usually mid June, mid October and late March for Fall, Spring and Summer semesters respectively. The graduate catalog is also available online. Application deadlines for the International students applying to UTSW or UTA are similar. Currently they are early April for Fall semester, early September for the Spring semester and mid January for the Summer semester. Refer to Click Here.
International Students must pay an application evaluation charge of $50.00 (Money order made payable in U.S. dollars). The non-refundable evaluation charge must be submitted with the original application and cannot be waived. All U.S. students must pay a $25.00 application fee.
