Graduate Program

The Bioengineering Graduate Group is composed of a broad group of faculty drawn from different departments and schools of the University of Pennsylvania.  The purpose of the Graduate Group is to administer a graduate program of instruction and research leading to the Masters and Ph.D. degrees in Bioengineering to students who meet the standards of the program. 

Penn Bioengineering Graduate Group offers courses of study in several areas of concentration leading to the Ph.D. degree in Bioengineering. Information about faculty, research programs, courses, and resources at Penn for advanced graduate studies in bioengineering can be found on this website. Additional information may be obtained from the department.

The current requirements are listed in the Masters and Ph.D. graduate student handbooks.

Degrees Offered

The Ph.D. program is designed to train individuals for academic, government, or industrial careers in which research is amental and pervasive activity.
