Overview

Key facts

Graduate students reap the many benefits of our truly joint department, with full student privileges and access to resources across both UNC and NC State campuses. From selecting research advisers and dissertation projects to choosing committee members, from taking classes to competing for awards and recognitions, from accessing specialized equipment and facilities to receiving professional mentorship, our graduate students have two campuses worth of opportunities.

These opportunities are easily exploited given the close proximity of the two campuses and the free and convenient BME shuttle bus that travels between them. While most students spend the majority of their time on a single campus, important extensions to the other are what make our graduate program exceptional.

North Carolina State University's Biomedical Engineering graduate experience is further strengthened by our state-of-the art laboratory spaces that were custom designed to meet the specific needs of biomedical research. These spaces are strategically located on the medical campus at UNC and the engineering campus at NC State to readily support collaborations with clinical and basic science colleagues across both universities.

In Chapel Hill, the BME department is housed in the newly renovated Mary Ellen Jones building, which sits adjacent to UNC Hospitals, the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, and the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. In Raleigh, BME is located on Centennial Campus, immediately adjacent to mechanical, electrical and computer, and chemical engineering and nearby the Wilson College of Textiles. Moreover, Centennial Campus is home to numerous industry partners and just down the street from the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine.
