Master of Science
The Master of Science in Bioengineering (M.S.) is a 30-credit-hour program that can be completed in as little as 16 months. The thesis option prepares students to conduct research in bioengineering and includes a 6-credit-hour research requirement. The non-thesis track prepares graduates for employment in bioengineering industries and does not include a research requirement.
M.S. ProgramMaster of Science - MDR
The Master of Science in Medical Device Reprocessing degree is a 30-credit-hour program with eleven graduate-level courses and an immersion/training experience in research or industry. The yearlong program emphasizes optimizing and validating biomedical technologies to support the safe reuse of medical devices and healthcare products.

Master of Engineering - BME
The Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering (BME) degree is a 30-credit-hour, non-thesis program designed for students who are pursuing a career in the medical technology industry. The degree can be completed in 1-year and is offered across three campus locations in South Carolina – Clemson, Greenville, and Charleston.
M.ENG | BME ProgramDoctor of Philosophy
The Ph.D. in Bioengineering program is a 60-credit-hour degree program comprised of a core curriculum and doctoral research. Applicants are encouraged to apply directly for a baccalaureate degree. Applicants who have already completed an M.S. degree may apply up to 24 credit hours toward the Ph.D.

B.S. to Graduate Program
Bioengineering undergraduates may begin an M.S./M.ENG degree program while completing their B.S. degree. This provides undergrads a head-start on graduate studies by allowing them to use a limited number of graduate courses to satisfy requirements for both the B.S. and M.S./M.Eng degrees.
