Admission and Application
Entering students are expected to have an ABET-accredited degree in engineering
with some course work in the biological sciences. Applicants with degrees
in physical or biological sciences may be required to complete course
work in the undergraduate engineering curriculum before being admitted
to the graduate program. Admission to the biomedical engineering graduate
programs normally requires GPA of at least 3.0/4.0 for all graduate
and undergraduate work, and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores of ≥650 for Quantitative, ≥500 for Verbal, and ≥4.0 for Analytical. Additional
application materials include a statement describing your reasons for
wanting to pursue graduate education in Biomedical Engineering and letters
of recommendations from three (3) faculty members who are familiar with
your academic record. Satisfying the above requirements does not guarantee
admission to the biomedical engineering graduate program. Applications
are reviewed by a committee of CBME faculty on a rolling basis.
Students interested in applying to the
Biomedical Engineering Program may obtain applications directly from:
The Graduate School
10 Gillis Building
University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY 40506-0033

In addition to the Graduate
School's requirements regarding transcripts and grade point averages,
Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores, and Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) scores (if applicable), the Center for Biomedical Engineering
requests a statement describing your reasons for wanting to pursue graduate
education in Biomedical Engineering and letters of recommendations from
three (3) faculty members who are familiar with your academic record.
Official transcripts and test scores should be directed to the Graduate
School, but unofficial or photocopies of the materials sent to the Graduate
School plus the statement and letters of recommendation should be sent
to the Center at the following address:
Director of Graduate Studies
Center for Biomedical Engineering
Wenner-Gren Lab
University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY 40506-0070
Program-specific inquiries should be addressed to the Director of Graduate Studies at the
above address or at cbmedgs@uky.edu.
