A graduate education beyond the limitations of the traditional
The College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences has carefully cultivated our graduate programs to be ideally scaled: Large enough to attract world-class faculty who are leading researchers in their fields, yet small enough to provide essential interdisciplinary opportunities in a highly collaborative environment that ensures strong and mutually beneficial connections between our students, faculty, and a rapidly expanding network of on-campus and premier industry partners. We offer highly regarded interdisciplinary graduate degrees, such as our well-known Biomedical Engineering and Complex Systems & Data Science degrees, and we compliment traditional graduate degrees with interdisciplinary Certificates of Graduate Studies.
SPOTLIGHT What Sets ¶¶Òõ̽̽ Apart?
CEMS Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs
As a research and world-problem-solving institution, our focus is on expanding the boundaries of a graduate student's experience. Our Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs provide a personalized education rooted in collaborative learning and skill-building with exceptional partnerships both within and outside the college.
Biomedical Engineering
Leveraging strong ties and close proximity between ¶¶Òõ̽̽'s College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences and the Larner College of Medicine, our graduate programs in Biomedical Engineering (BME) prioritize hands-on, interdisciplinary learning to provide our students the opportunity to employ cutting-edge technologies and advanced engineering methods to address real-world problems related to human health.
¶¶Òõ̽̽ offers programs of study leading to Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in BME with areas of research expertise, including digital health, neuroengineering, biomaterials, biomechanics, and computational modeling.
Program Coordinator: Dr. David Jangraw - djangraw@uvm.edu
Master of Science (MS) in Biomedical Engineering
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Biomedical Engineering
Complex Systems and Data Science
Our interdisciplinary graduate programs in Complex Systems and Data Science allow students to engage with faculty from Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics, and the engineering departments within CEMS, as well as other faculty researchers from across the University.
Recently, the CEMS Complex Systems Center evolved into a University-wide to better catalyze computational research, drive collaboration, and extend its impact well beyond campus borders. Pan-Disciplinary research groups within the Institute, such as the and the have emerged as national leaders in their respective fields, receiving multimillion-dollar funding from research foundations and industry partners.

Graduate Certificate in Complex Systems and Data Science
If you're looking to get your data science M.S. but don't have years to invest in a degree program, this certificate program is for you. We provide students with a broad training in computation and theoretical techniques for describing and understanding complex natural and sociotechnical systems and enabling them to (as possible) predict, control, manage, and create such systems.
You will learn:
- Data wrangling: Methods of data acquisition, storage, manipulation, and curation
- Visualization techniques, with a potential for building high quality web-based applications
- Uncovering complex patterns and correlations in systems through data-fueled machine learning and genetic programming
- Powerful ways of identifying and extracting explanatory, mechanistic stories underlying complex systems—not just how to use black box techniques
