By consulting with advisors, prospective, incoming, and continuing (current) students can obtain answers to questions on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:

  • Admission to the graduate programs
  • Program requirements and courses 
  • Planning course schedules
  • Important deadlines and time limits

  • Academic and non-academic resources available to students 

Prospective Students: Reach out to an advisor via email at be-gradinfo@bioeng.ucsd.edu. In your email please include which graduate degree program(s) you are interested in so advisors can better assist you.
