Graduate Programs
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. Ph.D. students should refer to the Model Programs for each degree.
Degree Listing
- Applied Mathematics (Ph.D.)
- Applied Physics (Ph.D.)
-
Computational Science and Engineering (S.M.)
- Computer Science (S.M., M.E., Ph.D.)
- Engineering Sciences
- Engineering Sciences: Bioengineering (Ph.D.)
- Engineering Sciences: Electrical Engineering (S.M., M.E., Ph.D.)
- Engineering Sciences: Environmental Science and Engineering (S.M., M.E., Ph.D)
- Engineering Sciences: Mechanical Engineering (including a Materials Science track)
-
Secondary Field in Computational Science and Engineering (as part of the Ph.D.)

Graduate Consortia
As part of GSAS, SEAS Ph.D. candidates can take advantage of exciting new interdisciplinary research opportunities, the Harvard Interdisciplinary Graduate Consortia. Graduate Consortia are non-degree, self-organized groups of affiliated scholars who collaboratively investigate broad topics such as human rights, global health, and climate change.
Two new Consortia have been launched thus far. The Graduate Consortium in Microbial Sciences is being offered by the University's Microbial Sciences Initiative (MSI), and explores an expanding biological field that has attracted intense interdisciplinary interest. The Graduate Consortium on Energy and Environment will foster a new community of students and faculty who will be well versed in the broad, interconnected issues of energy and environment while maintaining their focus in their primary discipline.
Collaborative Options with HST
Students may also pursue collaborative options with other schools and departments through programs such as:
- Health Sciences and Technology (with Harvard Medical School and MIT)
Special Students and Visiting Fellows
Special Students
Courses offered by the SEAS and departments in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences are open to students who hold a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent, who are able to present evidence of fitness for admission at the graduate level, but who are registered as Special Students.
Visiting Fellows
Scholars intending to do research who hold a doctorate, or have equivalent professional experience, or are advanced doctoral candidates who have completed all required coursework, may apply for Visiting Fellow status within Harvard University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS).
