University of California at Berkeley

• The University of California at Berkeley offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in bioengineering. The bachelor's degree program offers seven concentrations: biomaterials, biomechanics, biomedical devices, cell and tissue engineering, computational bioengineering, imaging and premedical school studies. The Master of Science in bioengineering features an emphasis in translational medicine designed to train students in issues related to health care delivery. The doctoral program offers both a major and minor option in bioengineering and consists of laboratory research rotations, undergraduate teaching and an oral qualifying examination followed by a dissertation project.

California Institute of Technology

• Undergraduate and graduate studies in bioengineering are offered by the California Institute of Technology. The bachelor's degree program focuses on theoretical and experimental applications through four specialization tracks: devices, mechanics, synthetic biology and a self-determined option for students who wish to pursue alternate areas of study. The doctoral program allows students to choose from one of three concentrations: devices and imaging for biological systems, biological and non-biological mechanical systems and synthetic and systems biology.
