Utah Biomedical Engineering Program #5 in the nation –

According to the customers!

According to rankings of the 25 best graduate BME programs in the nation as compiled by the non-profit Graduate Programs Foundation in Spring 2014, and based solely on rankings and reviews from current or recent graduate students, the University of Utah’s Biomedical Engineering program was ranked #5 in the nation. Other notable rankings include Columbia University at #1, USC at # 9, Stanford University at #14, Johns Hopkins at #20.

The rankings were based on input submitted during a period of more than 18 months and

by more than 60,000 students

participating in greater than 1,500 graduate programs around the country. Using a 10-point scale, students evaluated 15 specific ranking categories at each graduate school including academic competitiveness, career support, quality of network, affordability of living, Workload, and Faculty Accessibility & Support. Rankings for a given program are not assigned until a minimum threshold of graduate student surveys are completed for that program.

According to “JS” who posted a comment on the Graduate Programs website about the U’s BME program:

“Having been to and worked for other schools before and after graduation I have been thoroughly impressed by the academic foundation the U provides it’s students. Faculty are accessible, knowledgeable and friendly. Additional career tools are provided through the many innovation and entrepreneurship programs offered. Students are extremely competitive in both academia and industry or business after leaving the program.

Salt Lake City is a great place as long as you are not looking for a really big city feel. There are endless things to do, especially if you like the outdoors. Diversity is much better than many think, and the U is actually very diverse as far as male to female students and faculty compared to other programs. Don’t hesitate applying to the U.”

The Graduate Programs Foundation is a non-profit entity that dispenses scholarships to students who have been selected at random as winners after participating in Graduate Programs Rate and Review program. – See more at:
