Bioengineering (PhD)
Earn a dual-shield degree from the University of Oregon (UO) and Oregon State University (OSU) with full access to the world-class facilities and resources at both universities. Make impactful and innovative discoveries at the forefront of bioengineering research in areas like regenerative medicine, synthetic biology, biosensors, and devices. Engage in an immersive curriculum, high impact research opportunities, and targeted research and career training programs that will take your science, and your career, to the next level.
A master of science degree is only attainable as part of the doctoral program, not as a standalone master's degree.
