The Bioengineering Department will be admitting students seeking to pursue a coterminal degree in Bioengineering. This option is available to outstanding Stanford undergraduate students who wish to work simultaneously toward a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. The degrees may be granted simultaneously or at the conclusion of different quarters, though the bachelor’s degree cannot be awarded after the master’s degree has been granted. As Bioengineering does not currently offer an undergraduate program, the B.S degree will be from another department.

The University minimum requirements for the coterminal bachelor’s/master’s program are 180 units for the bachelor’s degree plus 45 unduplicated units for the master’s degree. A student may apply for the coterminal B.S. and M.S. program after 120 units are completed and they must be accepted into our program a one quarter before receiving their degree. Students should apply directly to the Bioengineering Department. Students must have a strong background in engineering, mathematics, and biology to be accepted into the coterminal program.

The application must provide evidence of potential for strong academic performance as a graduate student. The application is evaluated and acted by the Graduate Admissions Committee of the department. Students will be expected to enter with a series of core competencies in mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, computing and engineering. Typically a GPA of at least 3.5 in these courses is expected.

Information we need:

• Application (pdf) A fee of $50 will be assessed for current Stanford students adding new degree programs.
1. Application for Admission to Coterminal Master's Program
2. Preliminary Program Proposal
3. Coterminal Course Transfer Form
4. Statement of Purpose
• Bioengineering Background Survey (form-ready pdf)
• GRE (subject test not required) All applicants must provide GRE scores from an examination taken within the last five years of the application deadline. You must Fax or mail bioengineering a photocopy of the ETS score report that was sent to you by the deadline in addition to having your scores reported directly to the University by ETS.
• Transcript (current Stanford transcript as well as transcripts from any classes taken outside of Stanford)
• Two letters of recommendation (pdf) from members of the Stanford faculty

Deadline:

Applications will not be accepted for summer quarter enrollment. Beginning Fall 08, we will post one application deadline for our coterminal program. We will no longer offer rolling admissions.  Please check back for more details.
