Course variations

Course summary

This program covers a range of research areas from devices to systems. The emphasis on practice infused with fundamental science and mathematics offers ample research opportunities, both theoretical and experimental, at the forefront of the field and its interdisciplinary applications.Traditionally preeminent in control theory and robotics, EE at Harvard has actively grown to incorporate new research programs and advances in information technology.EE is closely tied with Harvard's efforts in Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Computer Science, and Bioengineering. Interdisciplinary research efforts include optimal NMR spectroscopy using quantum control, signal processing for fast nanopore DNA sequencing, ultrafast silicon transceivers design using stochastic resonance, Casmir force generation using MEMS devices, and quantum circuits design.

Entry requirement for international students

The Admissions Board hopes that all applicants will recognize the following: the full range of GMAT scores is very broad, that there is no "minimum" score requirement, and that the GMAT is just one piece of data among the many used to evaluate an application. 50% of the Class of 2009 scored between 700 and 740 on the GMAT. There is no minimum GPA requirement though our students often have competitive undergraduate GPAs, there are many other equally important components of the application. GPA is just one factor the Admissions Board uses to evaluate a candidate.
