At the heart of the Boston University College of Engineering’s mission is preparing the world’s citizens to advance the global economy and quality of life for all people. We invite and sustain a vibrant national and international student population, and a deep appreciation of global and cultural awareness and respect is a critical component of an engineering degree.
PhD programs at Boston University College of Engineering engage students at the highest level of scientific inquiry while providing the resources and intellectual rigor of a world-class research university. Graduates of our programs leave with the leadership and analytical skills necessary to forge careers in both academia and industry.
Master’s degree programs are designed to prepare students for careers in industry or for further graduate study. All programs combine advanced technical work with leadership and management skills, and include a practicum requirement—a resume-building project, clinical, research, or design opportunity that can be the basis for demonstrating competency and experience.
