Graduate requirements

The Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences' doctoral and master’s degree programs lie at the interfaces of engineering, the applied sciences, and technology. We bring the full resources of the University to bear to enable new discoveries and innovations.

In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of modern research, we do not have traditional academic departments and do not award degrees by specific research area. Instead, graduate students work toward a degree in one of seven subjects: Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Computer Science, Computational Science & Engineering, Data Science, Design Engineering, and Engineering Sciences.

Program-specific Information can be found on the Academics page. General information that applies to all the graduate programs at Harvard Engineering School can be found here.
