Master of Science in Bioengineering
Northeastern University’s Master of Science in Bioengineering equips you with the interdisciplinary education and real-world skills to excel in a rapidly growing industry, spanning from biomedical to biofuel cell research and innovation. The College of Engineering's approach allows students to focus on a specific concentration, giving you a competitive advantage over those studying in programs offering a general curriculum. The four concentrations you can choose from are:
- Molecular, cell and tissue engineering
- Biomechanics and mechanobiology
- Biomedical devices and bioimaging
- Systems, synthetic, and computational bioengineering
Additionally, our Master of Science in Bioengineering-Connect program, with a concentration in Biomedical Devices and Bioimaging, is designed for life sciences, medicine, and other non-engineering backgrounds to transition their careers to bioengineering.
