<p>My interest lies in Biomedical Engineering.</p>
<p>Harvard does have "cirriculum" in biomed, but do it offer a bachelor's degree in biomed?</p>
<p>What is Engineering Sciences? Is that a major?</p>
<p>check out this website</p>
<p>No, you do not actually get a degree in biomed.</p>
<p>Engineering sciences is how Harvard chooses to group its engineering disciplines. That is what you would be formally majoring in if you choose to study engineering at Harvard.</p>
<p>As a point of reference, if you were to go to Harvey Mudd to major in Engineering, then you would receive a BS in Engineering, with no further designation. You can choose EE, ME, ChemE, or any other kind of E at Mudd, but your formal degree will still just be a BS in Engineering. However, if you check around, you will see that the engineering students from Mudd do quite well for themselves, despite "only" getting a general BS in Engineering, without further designation.</p>
<p>Let me give you another example. Take Caltech. Caltech offers formal BS degrees in the specific disciplines of EE, ME, and ChemE. So what about all the other engineering disciplines, like CivE, BioE, MatSci, etc. ? They are all classified under the catch-all rubric of "Engineering and Applied Sciences". Don't be fooled into thinking that this EAS designation is something that Caltech uses to encompass all of the 'less prestigious' engineering disciplines. Far from it. Caltech has arguably the best aeronautics/aerospace engineering program in the world. But you can't actually get a formal BS degree in Aeronautics or Aerospace Engineering. Instead, you would be awarded a BS degree in EAS, with an emphasis on Aeronautics, but not a formal BS degree in Aeronautics.</p>
<p>But don't take my word for it. Take a look at the commencements for BS recipients from Caltech in the last few years. Find me one person that has actually received a formal BS in BioE, MatSci, CivE, Aeronautics, or EnvE. You can't do it. Instead, you have all these people getting BS's in EAS. </p>

<p>Furthermore, you should notice that prior to 2003, you couldn't even get a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering. People could and did get EAS degrees with an ME emphasis, but not a formal BS degree in ME. That's because prior to 2003, ME was also folded into EAS. It's only been lately that Caltech decided to award an independent, fully ABET accredited, Mechanical Engineering degree.</p>
<p>I see...it is clear now.</p>
<p>So, how is BME at Harvard? I understand Harvard med school is the best in the world for past decades, but how is bme?</p>
<p>harvard is unranked by u.s. news in BME (i.e. not in the top 25), as it is in all the major engineering disciplines.</p>
