Applied Biomedical Engineering, Graduate Certificate

Admission Requirements

Applicants must meet the general requirements for admission to graduate study. Additionally, applicants are expected to hold a degree in engineering or in a related science field. The applicant's prior education must include the following prerequisites:

1. mathematics through ordinary differential equations;
2. calculus-based physics;
3. chemistry; and
4. signals and systems.

Applicants whose prior education does not include the prerequisites listed above may still enroll under provisional status, followed by full admission status once they have completed the missing prerequisites. Missing prerequisites may be completed with Johns Hopkins Engineering or at another regionally accredited institution. These prerequisite courses do not count toward the degree or certificate requirements. Transcripts from all college studies must be submitted.  When reviewing an application, the candidate’s academic and professional background will be considered.

If you are an international applicant, you may have additional admission requirements.

Program Requirements

Four graduate courses must be completed within five years. One course is required from the biological sciences coursed listed below. One course is required from either the advanced mathematics or advanced engineering courses listed below. Two additional courses must come from any 600 or 700-level course in the Applied Biomedical Engineering program. 

Only one C-range grade (C+, C, or C−) can count toward the graduate certificate. Any course selections outside of the four required core courses are subject to advisor approval.
