Overview

The Bioengineering Program is interdisciplinary in that it is not a standalone academic unit like most departments or schools at Georgia Institute of Technology. Rather, multiple academic units from the Colleges of Engineering, Computing, and Sciences make up the program. However, the BioE Program provides the degree requirements for students accepted into the program.

This approach allows a flexible, integrative and individualized degree program that enforces depth and breadth in coursework, a solid bioengineering research experience, and yet is reflective of the disciplinary background of the student's home school.

Importantly, the BioE Program provides research opportunities for students with any participating program faculty, allowing tremendous diversity and flexibility for research topics and advisors.
