Systems and synthetic bioengineering represent interconnected emerging disciplines that blend experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches to address complex biomedical challenges. Systems bioengineering adopts a comprehensive perspective by synthesizing vast molecular datasets to clarify connections between genetic makeup and observable traits. This multi-level comprehension of living systems provides insights into physiological functions, disease mechanisms, and treatment development. Synthetic bioengineering focuses on building and programming biological systems from fundamental molecular parts for practical applications. These engineered solutions offer promising avenues for tackling diverse biomedical issues.

Qualification Requirements

Applicants must have received, prior to commencing graduate study, a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institute, college, or university. Although no single field of undergraduate specialization is required, applicants to the program must have a thorough undergraduate background in engineering and life sciences. They are expected to have mastered basic material in the following areas:
mathematics (calculus through differential equations)
physics (college physics with calculus including mechanics and electronics)
chemistry (organic and/or biochemistry)
materials science (introductory course or strength of materials)
biology (introductory human anatomy or physiology)

Unofficial Transcripts for Applicants: Unofficial copies of transcripts from all colleges and universities attended should be uploaded into the AY system at the time of application. For foreign institutions, include transcripts in the original language, plus official English translations if the original language is not English.
GRE Scores: Test scores are generally required for the graduate program.
Letters of Reference: We require at least three letters of personal reference from course instructors, research supervisors, or employers who are familiar with your abilities and performance.

All aspects of an application will be seriously considered during the evaluation process. However, typically successful applicants have a cumulative GPA that meets or exceeds ~3.5 and GRE scores of ~156 verbal, ~165 quantitative, ~4 analytical writing. International students should have a minimum composite TOEFL score of 90 on the internet-based test. However, students with composite TOEFL scores below 100 (internet-based test) may be required to enroll in English classes. The Department will also accept a minimum 7.5 IELTS score or 125 DUOLINGO score in lieu of the TOEFL.
