BIOE-BS - Bioengineering (BS)

The Stanford Bioengineering major enables students to combine engineering and the life sciences in ways that advance scientific discovery, health care and medicine, manufacturing, environmental quality, culture, education, and policy. Students who major in BioE earn a fundamental engineering degree for which the raw materials, underlying basic sciences, essential toolkits, and future frontiers are all defined by the unique properties of living systems.

Students will complete engineering fundamentals courses, including an introduction to bioengineering and computer programming. A series of core BIOE classes beginning in the second year leads to a student-selected depth area and a senior capstone design project. The department also organizes a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. BIOE graduates are well-prepared to pursue careers and lead research, medicine, business, law, and policy projects.
