40 online graduate degrees and certificates offered
Why this certificate?
The Graduate Certificate in Computational Biomedical Engineering, offered by the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, is available online or on campus to both degree and non-degree-seeking students. This certificate will equip students with the ability to translate biomedical engineering analyses into biologically and clinically meaningful insights that inform biomedical product development, system performance, or healthcare decision-making. In addition, students will apply responsible computing practices in biomedical or healthcare-related engineering contexts, with attention to data privacy, security, and ethical considerations.
Who is eligible?
Those who hold a bachelor's degree in engineering, biology, or a closely related STEM field from an institution of recognized standing are eligible to apply. Exceptions may be approved if an applicant has sufficient background knowledge. These will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. There is no GRE requirement.
What can you expect?
Upon completion of this graduate certificate, students will be able to formulate and implement mathematical and computational models of biomedical and healthcare-related engineering systems, justifying modeling assumptions using relevant domain knowledge. They will be able to design, implement, and validate reproducible, well-documented end-to-end computational workflows of biomedical engineering data, including modeling, evaluation, and visualization. Students will also gain (?) the ability to analyze biomedical and healthcare-related data using appropriate statistical, numerical, and machine-learning methodology, accounting for data quality, uncertainty, and other limitations.
