Johns Hopkins University

Applicants are expected to hold a degree in engineering in order to be admitted to the Master of Science in Applied Biomedical Engineering program. Those who majored in a related science or engineering field may also be accepted as candidates, provided their background is judged by the admissions committee to be equivalent to that stated above. Applicant's prior education should include the following prerequisites:

1. mathematics, through ordinary differential equations
2. calculus-based physics
3. chemistry
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. All prerequisite courses may be completed at Johns Hopkins Engineering or at another regionally accredited institution. Admitted students typically have earned a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (B or above) in the latter half of their undergraduate studies. Transcripts from all college studies must be submitted. When reviewing an application, the candidate’s academic and professional background will be considered. Students who wish to refresh their knowledge may also take the prerequisite courses.
