UD Programs

Doctoral Programs

BIOMS

The mission of the Interdisciplinary Program in Biomechanics & Movement Science (BIOMS) is to advance the understanding of complex human systems through interaction of experts who cross traditional divisions of academic study. We strive to train outstanding researchers who will contribute to the advancement of health science through translational and interdisciplinary research.

Biomedical Engineering (BME)

The Biomedical Engineering PhD program in the College of Engineering at the University of Delaware is built on a common core curriculum with advanced curricula allowing students to expand their knowledge in specific areas related to their research interests. With research areas spanning musculoskeletal biomechanics, drug delivery and nanomedicine, cell and tissue engineering, disease modeling, and neuroengineering and rehabilitation, the PhD program in BME at UD offers both academic rigor and flexibility to meet the needs of students with different interests and backgrounds.

Physical Therapy

The mission of the Department of Physical Therapy is to advance physical therapist practice by providing outstanding entry-level and post-graduate education, translating science to deliver quality clinical services, leading federally funded rehabilitation research, and training the next generation of rehabilitation researchers and leaders of our profession.

Undergraduate/Graduate Programs

Kinesiology/Exercise Science

Undergraduate Program Information

Graduate Program Information

The Kinesiology major provides students with an outstanding educational experience that prepares them for careers in the health professions or health sciences. This is primarily a pre-professional program, preparing students for subsequent clinical, graduate, or professional programs. Students have access to research laboratories and facilities with advanced technology for specialized study in biomechanics, motor control, cardiovascular, skeletal, muscular and neural physiology.

Engineering

Biomedical Engineering

Undergraduate Program Information

Biomedical engineering applies quantitative engineering analysis and design to biological and medical problems. It is a field dedicated to revealing basic knowledge of disease mechanisms to improve human health, and to developing new technologies and therapies to improve the quality of life.

Mechanical Engineering
