Robotics and Autonomous Systems (Biomedical Engineering), MS
Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Systems, Controls, Medicine, Robotics, approved for STEM-OPT extension, biomedical
The biomedical engineering concentration is one of five concentrations in the multidisciplinary Master of Science program in robotics and autonomous systems, which emphasizes robotics, controls, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and related fields. This concentration is appropriate for students who wish to focus on applications in biomedical engineering.
This is an advanced degree that emphasizes competency in the rapidly growing fields of robotics and autonomous systems as well as with applications in biomedical engineering and medicine.
Biomedical engineers work at the interface of technology and medicine on challenges that are critical to the advancement of health and scientific discovery.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
