Master of Science in Bioengineering
Bioengineering is a growth industry in Ohio. You can help fill the need for bioengineers with a master's degree in bioengineering from the University of Dayton, a collaboration between the School of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Explore the production of electricity from microbes. Improve power production and miniaturization in microbial fuel cells. These two related areas show the enormous global power production breakthroughs bioengineering specialists like you could make in the near future.
Career Outlook and Highlights
Employment is projected to grow 23 percent from 2014 to 2024.
We offer state-of-the-art laboratories, including the Tissue Regeneration and Engineering at Dayton (TREND) Lab and the Nanoscale Engineering, Science and Technology (NEST) Lab.
