Prospective Undergraduates

The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), as a “connector and integrator,” offers an unparalleled opportunity to be part of an excellent engineering school inside of one of the world’s foremost research universities.

Moreover, undergraduates enjoy the intellectual energy of a liberal arts college where they can engage in scholarship spanning the sciences, social sciences, art and humanities, and gain an understanding of societal issues through the University’s professional schools.

With such breadth and depth, students can tackle the complex, multidisciplinary global challenges of the 21st century.

In the words of one of our students,

"I have worked harder at Harvard than I have ever worked in my life ... But I enjoy every minute of it, even the excruciating nights before a problem set is due.

"I chose to come to Harvard because I wanted to have the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research as a sophomore, learn from professors who are passionate about their students, row on the Charles as part of the novice crew team, learn Spanish, and pursue my interest in technology at the same time."

—Madhura Narawane ’12

With the arrival of Dean Cherry A. Murray, SEAS has undertaken an ambitious strategic planning process designed primarily to further enhance the school's educational programs.

Dean Murray believes in educating “T-shaped” individuals, or those who have deep knowledge in a discipline but are able to collaborate across the boundaries of disciplines, as opposed to educating “mile-wide-but-inch-deep” individuals, or those who are interdisciplinary but have no intellectual depth.
