Curriculum Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Biomedical Engineering A Doctor of Philosophy degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME) is offered jointly by The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA). A matrix of academic tracks is offered based on segments of biomedical engineering and/or areas of clinical emphasis. Specifically, the program has emphases in the following areas: biomaterials, biomechanics, and bioimaging. The biological areas covered are orthopedics/dental tissues, cardiovascular systems, and neurological systems. The Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering will be awarded to candidates who have displayed an in-depth understanding of the concepts that are necessary for critically judging the scientific literature, for formulating novel hypotheses, designing experimental protocols to test the hypotheses, interpreting their results and demonstrating their ability to make an original contribution to knowledge in the biomedical field. Students are advised to consult the UTSA Doctoral Degree Regulations and the UTHSCSA Catalog, as well as the BME Program Website which contains details specific to the UTSA/UTHSCSA Joint Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering.
