Electrical Engineering

Program Overview

Electrical engineering builds the information and communication pathways that link us and the devices and systems that send, receive, store and compute on information ever faster. Harvard offers it as an accredited Bachelor of Science and as a Bachelor of Arts. How competitive: for the Class of 2029, which entered in fall 2025, Harvard admitted 4.2% of its 47,893 applicants; it publishes no separate figure for international applicants. It sets no IB minimum and no subject requirement, and it requires the SAT or ACT: IB results, final or predicted, count in their place only in exceptional cases. Students apply to Harvard College and choose a concentration, Harvard's name for a major, from 50 fields.
