Overview

See more information on the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website here: https://gsas.harvard.edu/program/bioengineering Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary program that provides students an opportunity to interact with many areas of the University and Harvard-affiliated teaching hospitals. The bioengineering program is an interdisciplinary program that provides students an opportunity to interact with many areas of the University and Harvard-affiliated teaching hospitals. Students will learn how bioengineering integrates fundamental engineering disciplines such as thermodynamics and fluid mechanics with the physical and life sciences while drawing on mathematics and computational sciences. This convergence will enable them to understand the operation of living systems that leads to the design of novel solutions to address critical problems in medicine and biology. Bioengineers at Harvard are making advances in bio-inspired robotics and computing, biometrics and motor control, cell and tissue engineering, biomaterials, and therapeutics. Examples of projects current and past students have worked on include embedding stretchable nanoelectronics into brain organoids to study brain development and developing injectable clotting agents to reduce blood loss. Graduates of the program have gone on to a range of careers in industry in companies like McKinsey & Company and Medtronic. Others have positions in academia at MIT, Vanderbilt, and Stanford.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Verify before applying

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
