Master of Bioengineering
Global Medical Innovation
Global Perspective, Global Impact
A one-year, full-time, non-thesis degree combining engineering, business, and clinical training to solve real-world medical needs.
Modern medical technology development requires a global perspective to engineer medical solutions that are cost-effective, sustainable and accessible. The MBE in Global Medical Innovation (GMI) prepares students to work and innovate in this dynamic international landscape with experiential learning and robust entrepreneurial opportunities. The GMI curriculum puts students in charge of early- and late-stage projects, gaining experience throughout the entire product development lifecycle. Located in the Texas Medical Center (TMC), GMI students have year-round access to a diverse set of clinicians and patients. Our generous IP policy allows project sponsors to freely license the technology back to an entity of their choosing and independent student projects may be freely licensed to a startup entity, encouraging student innovation.

Traveling Home!
It is so crazy how quickly these last two months have flown by! I spent the last few days in CR finishing up touristy things like taking a "cooking class" where we made empanadas, and taking cheesy pictures by local landmarks. I learned so much throughout my...
