BIOE

The Bioengineering Ph.D. is an interdisciplinary degree conferred by Georgia Tech.

  Students in the Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering programs often work alongside each other in the labs on similar research. Both programs emphasize the applications of engineering principles to human health. The primary differences between the programs are coursework and from which institution(s) the degrees are conferred. Bioengineering is a Georgia Tech degree, while Biomedical Engineering is a joint degree between Georgia Tech and Emory.

  For the Bioengineering Ph.D. curriculum, students have flexibility in choosing courses to fulfill requirements in areas of biosciences, mathematics, bioengineering, traditional engineering and electives.

  In the Bioengineering Ph.D., students select their thesis advisor in the fall of their 1st year and then begin their thesis research.


  Though the Bioengineering program admits students for M.S. degrees via other departments, the Biomedical Engineering department only considers PhD applicants for the Bioengineering program.
