The Master of Engineering, Plan C, Biomedical Engineering Specialization focuses on enhancing the expertise of working engineering professionals. Engineers and scientists who want to further their careers with engineering related firms and governmental agencies should consider this degree. Students will have flexibility to develop a plan of study in their area of interest. Students interested in graduate work should refer to CSU's Graduate and Professional Bulletin and the School of Biomedical Engineering website.
