Curriculum
The design of our curriculum helps students create an academic plan that drives their research and career success. This starts with minimizing core requirements to four courses that prepare students to apply bioengineering fundamentals toward innovations that advance human health. Students then tailor their individual experience through an unrivaled set of elective options. Joint program students can choose any graduate-level course at UO or OSU that aligns with their research or career goals. Students take exactly what they need to advance their science.
Knight Campus graduate students complement their academic coursework through a career acceleration program: a suite of advanced trainings in ethics, science communication, innovation and entrepreneurship, grant writing, design thinking, and career planning that accelerate their academic and professional success.
