Bioengineering

Program Overview

Engineering in a biological context, such as the human body, an ecosystem or a bioreactor, where the interface with living systems shapes the design of devices, instruments and implants. How competitive: for fall 2025, Northeastern admitted 3.9% of its 18,754 international first-year applicants (5.6% of all 105,256). It sets no IB minimum: it highly recommends predicted grades and is test-optional, and it can rescind an offer if your final results fall outside an acceptable range of your predictions. Students begin in one of Northeastern's Signature Programs, on the Boston campus or across its network of campuses and partners.
