Harvard's School of Engineering approaches bioengineering as a fundamentally cross-disciplinary field, bringing together faculty and research facilities from throughout our campuses and affiliated teaching hospitals. Our bioengineering program merges core engineering principles like thermodynamics and fluid dynamics with physical and life sciences, enhanced by mathematical and computational approaches. This synthesis enables us to decode biological systems and develop innovative approaches to pressing medical and biological challenges. Harvard's bioengineers are pioneering breakthroughs in areas including biologically inspired robotics, computational modeling, biomechanics, cellular engineering, biomaterials, and therapeutic development. Through our vibrant intellectual networks and exceptional resources, we lead in scientific exploration and technological advancement. Students and faculty work closely with numerous institutions across Boston's thriving bioengineering ecosystem, such as the Wyss Institute, Broad Institute, Nanoscale Science Center, Brain Science Center, Stem Cell Institute, Quantitative Biology Initiative, Martinos Center, along with Harvard Medical School and the Chan School of Public Health. The program provides both graduate and undergraduate degree options while offering students access to state-of-the-art research experiences.
Students must complete their high school from the recognized institution.
