Doctor of Philososphy [Ph.D] [Biomedical Engineering] From Medical College of Wisconsin

The Doctor of Philosophy degree in biomedical engineering is conferred in recognition of marked ability and high attainment in the advancement of knowledge and pursuit of truth. It is never awarded solely as a result of coursework completed, no matter how faithfully extended over any prescribed period. In defining the requirement for this degree it is convenient to use semester credits, but it should be clearly understood that no number of credits alone entitle you to this degree. The comprehensive knowledge expected of you in your major field is such that the requirements usually demand no less than three years of full time work, or the equivalent beyond your baccalaureate degree.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering is a dedicated team committed to the Jesuit tradition of the pursuit of truth. We develop leaders and problem solvers skilled at applying engineering, science and design principles to improve health in the service of humanity by:

• Discovering and disseminating new knowledge;
• Promoting critical thinking and lifelong learning;
• Guiding students to meaningful and ethical professional and personal lives;
• Fostering interdisciplinary and collaborative research and education through academic and industrial alliances;
• Continuing innovative leadership in education, research and industrial relationships; and
• Inspiring faculty and students to serve others.
