Students interested in applying to the Biomedical Engineering Program may obtain applications directly from: The Graduate SchoolFurther information and online applications can be found by clicking on the following links: Domestic applicants: http://www.research.uky.edu/gs/domapp/domapmen.htmlPlease visit the Graduate School's Web site for details about the application process. The Graduate School requires an application and fee, official transcripts, official Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores, and official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores (if applicable). In addition, 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 StudiesProgram-specific inquiries should be addressed to the Director of Graduate Studies at the above address or at cbmedgs@uky.edu. |

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.
