SCPD - Content View


	The Clark Center is home to the new Bioengineering Department, a joint endeavor of the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine. Professor Scott Delp (Mechanical Engineering) and Professor Paul Yock (Medicine) co-chair the Bioengineering Department.

The international reputation and close physical proximity of Stanford’s School of Engineering, School of Medicine and Biological Sciences Department uniquely enables Stanford University to be in the forefront of research and teaching in medical devices, genomics, bioinformatics, software, technology and materials. This multidisciplinary effort is extended to students in industry through courses and programs delivered online, on campus and on site by the Stanford Center for Professional Development.

Inside Bio

Graduate degree study can be undertaken on a part-time basis through the Honors Cooperative Program (HCP). Students must be admitted as Stanford University graduate students through the regular admissions process. Master’s degree track where HCP students may meet degree requirements completely at a distance:

Biomedical Informatics

Degree tracks requiring some on-campus attendance:

			Biomechanical Engineering
			Biomedical Computation
			Biomedical Devices

Degree tracks offered only on campus:

			Biomedical Imaging
			Molecular and Cell Bioengineering

If you want to update or refresh your skills in an area, or get a “first-taste” in a new discipline, SCPD offers graduate courses through the Non Degree Option (NDO). You may take individual courses or earn a graduate certificate through successful completion of three to five courses in:

			Biodesign
			Bioinformatics
			Cardiovascular Bioengineering
			Clinical Informatics
			Data Mining and Applications

			BIOC 218 - Computational Molecular Biology
			BIOC 228 - Computational Genomic Biology
			BIOC 238 - courses/academic/crseDesc.asp?crseID=467&sdID=2
