Students in the M.S. program have three options. They can choose to write a thesis, complete a project or complete a course work option. The majority of UToledo students pursue the thesis option and conduct research in their advisor’s laboratory. Bioengineers work at the interface of engineering and living systems. At UToledo, our master’s program provides key training in focused areas. For example, learn how to design, build and test medical devices; build computational models to predict joint loading and surgical intervention outcomes; or develop sensors to better detect physiological signals – all to improve the human condition. The possibilities are endless. Please see our department website for details regarding faculty research areas. Our master's-level graduates often transition to successful careers in a range of bio-industries or continue on to pursue Ph.D. or M.D. degrees.
