Driven by the world-class innovation of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and The Grainger College of Engineering, the Master of Science in Biomedical Image Computing (MS in BIC) offers rigorous training at the dynamic intersection of imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), and computation. Biomedical image computing is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field that shapes how biomedical images are formed, analyzed, and applied—advancing the design and optimization of imaging systems using computational and data-driven methods.

With advances in AI and computing accelerating change in the field, this program prepares a new generation of engineers and scientists to lead with proficiency in biomedical imaging, AI, and high-performance computing. Students leverage their skills in signals, math, and computation to make meaningful contributions to the medical and healthcare industries—no background in biology or medicine required.

MS in BIC ONLINE

The MS in Biomedical Image Computing degree program is also offered through an online platform, awarding the exact same degree as the in-person program. Designed for those seeking to develop and apply AI- and computing-driven solutions in biomedical imaging and healthcare data, this professional, non-thesis program equips students with skills in biomedical imaging, machine learning, and high-performance computing. The flexibility of the online format makes it an excellent choice for students pursuing advanced graduate education while working.

The online degree can be completed in as few as three semesters, depending on course load, with up to five years to finish. All online students have access to recorded lectures and follow the same syllabus, assignments, exams, and projects as in-person students. Instructors are available for virtual office hours and to answer questions.
