The BioE Program is cross-disciplinary, functioning differently from traditional departments or schools at Georgia Tech as it isn't a separate academic entity. This collaborative graduate program delivers specialized coursework in bioengineering, various engineering disciplines, and life sciences, paired with hands-on training in innovative bioengineering research. The BioEngineering MS degree, available through all participating schools with a thesis track, mandates completing a master's thesis involving independent research on a bioengineering subject under faculty supervision. Bioengineering research emphasizes creating or enhancing physical and mathematical approaches to address medical and biological challenges, from investigating biological processes to designing novel medical technologies. Certain participating schools provide a non-thesis, course-based alternative.
Comprising eight academic units across the Colleges of Engineering, Computing, and Design, the program enables students to pursue research with any affiliated faculty, offering exceptional variety and adaptability in both research focus areas and mentorship opportunities.
