Admission Requirements

Entry Requirements

We require:

  • academic transcripts (see below)

  • GED students: a copy of the GED certificate from the state, along with a copy of your GED test record

Optional: 

  • SAT/ACT score*

  • letter of recommendation from a teacher or school counselor: highly recommended for our most competitive programs, such as nursing, biology, engineering, and psychology

  • a personal essay (up to 650 words) that demonstrates qualities of leadership, community service, work experiences and/or other significant interests; this can be completed as part of your Common Application

*Test optional admissions

  • UMass Dartmouth is 100% test optional. The admission decision will be based on a holistic review of the application including the high school record, recommendations, personal essay and other materials submitted by the applicant. SAT/ACT scores are encouraged as many of our programs are competitive. See our frequently asked questions about test optional admission.

17 college preparatory courses are required:

  • English—4 units

  • Mathematics—4 units: algebra I & II and geometry or trigonometry (or comparable), including math during the final year of high school

  • Foreign language—2 units of the same language

  • Sciences—3 units; all must be laboratory sciences: natural science, physical science, technology/engineering

  • Social sciences—2 units, including 1 in U.S. history

  • Electives—2 units in college preparatory courses

We encourage you to submit your first quarter grades as soon as possible.

English Requirements

  • All non-native speakers of English must demonstrate English language proficiency and are required to submit TOEFL (79), IELTS (6.5) or PTE (53) scores.

  • Applicants may waive the language score requirement if their secondary institution provides written verification that the means of instruction is in English, they are enrolled in an IB curriculum, attend American School or enrolled in a curriculum that leads to Cambridge International Examinations: IGCSE/O-level and GCE/A level exam.

Course Information

At the intersection of engineering, biology, and chemistry, you’ll discover bioengineering. Bioengineering is one of the fastest-growing engineering disciplines, with a high demand in the medical sector.

Bioengineers design and develop devices, systems, and techniques to improve patient diagnosis, treatment, and care. They utilize biotechnology to produce personalized drugs, to make biofuels and biopolymers, to engineer tissues to replace damaged organs, to grow human tissue for drug testing, and to create new diagnostic techniques.

UMassD's bioengineering program brings together the life sciences, medicine, and engineering to provide a solid academic foundation and a broad interdisciplinary approach to the field. You will:

  • develop your critical thinking skills

  • learn to evaluate with a broad perspective

  • identify and solve problems creatively

Bioengineering is creating its own frontiers of development. You’ll join a new generation of innovators and leaders in fields with significant and growing employment opportunities including health care, public health, biomanufacturing, and biomedical engineering. The department also offers a BS degree in bioengineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering.

Your education will prepare you to contribute to the profession in an ethical and socially responsible manner and to work effectively to further your career and to benefit society.
