Minimum Admission Requirements

The Biomedical Engineering (M.E.) degree requires you to have the following:

• B.S. in engineering, life sciences, or natural sciences from a regionally accredited institution.
• GPA of 3.0 or higher in engineering or life science courses.
• GRE score of 1100 total for the verbal and quantitative sections (approx. 550 on each section) and 4.5 on the writing.

Please note that meeting the minimum department standards does not ensure admission to the program. Admission to Colorado State University graduate programs is based on a number of factors, including prior academic and professional experience and the personal statement.

Before your application for graduate study is considered, all application materials must be received by the department.

• Professional Resume or Vita
  You may include this in the online application process, email it as an attachment to brett.beal@colostate.edu, or submit a paper copy.
• Statement of Purpose
  The statement of purpose is typically 1-2 pages and briefly describes your background, educational goals, research interests, and why you would be a good fit in the program. You may include this in the online application process, email it as an attachment to brett.beal@colostate.edu, or submit a paper copy.
