Study Level

PHD

Doctoral students are admitted on two levels: Post Baccalaureate or Post Master's PhDs. Students who have completed only a Bachelor's degree are admitted as Post Baccalaureate and students who have earned a prior MS degree may be admitted as Post Master's PhD students at the discretion of the admission committee. Post master's students must complete a total of 45 credits. All students are required to satisfy the MS core courses as listed in the table below except those students who have taken these courses during their MS studies at Drexel's School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems. All the requirements of the Master's degree program below are incorporated into the Post Baccalaureate Doctoral Program with exception of the Master's thesis. Doctoral students must pass successfully a "candidacy examination" at the end of the first year of their study, but no later than the end of the second year. After the student has passed the candidacy examination, he or she is named a Doctoral Candidate. Candidates must submit a Thesis Proposal by the end of the second year and give an oral presentation to a committee of five professors. Once the student has successfully completed his or her research and has written a thesis according to the guidelines specified by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies he or she must give an oral presentation of his or her accomplishments and defend the thesis Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Biomaterials and tissue Engineering is designed to provide students with advanced training in cellular and molecular biology relevant to tissue engineering and behavior of materials used in biomedical applications.
