Chemical engineers are critical to the progress of a wide variety of technologies. As such, interdisciplinary degrees offer students the opportunity to obtain a breadth of knowledge and unparalleled academic exposure.

BEH
A new Division of Bioengineering & Environmental Health (BEH) was established in January 1998 within the School of Engineering, to develop undergraduate and graduate curricula and degree programs at the interface of engineering and biology. This division contains faculty with joint appointments across a spectrum of Engineering and Science Departments at MIT who possess strong teaching and research interests at this interface. Currently BEH offers a S.B. Minor degree program in Biomedical Engineering and a Ph.D. degree program in Toxicology. Plans are underway to create an analogous S.B. Minor degree program in Environmental Health, a Ph.D. degree program in Bioengineering, and a 5-year S.B./S.M. degree program in Biomedical Engineering.

HST
The Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) offers a program leading to a Doctor of Philosophy in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics. This degree program integrates engineering, science, technology and medicine, and prepares students for careers as engineers or physicists in human health fields or biology. Specific details for this graduate program are given in the HST Catalog, prepared by the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology and obtainable from HST Headquarters, Room E25-519, MIT, Cambridge, MA 02139, or at http://hst.mit.edu.

PPST
The MIT Program in Polymer Science and Technology (PPST) is an interdepartmental program for students with a clear commitment to a doctoral degree in the field of polymers who wish to engage in a broad-based academic program covering concepts from the molecular to the continuum. Details on this program are available from the PPST Office (MIT 66-370), or at http://web.mit.edu/ppst

Leaders for Manufacturing
In this program, Chemical Engineering graduate students earn two degrees: an MS from Chemical Engineering and an MBA or MS from the MIT Sloan School of Management.  An active partnership among MIT School of Engineering, MIT Sloan School of Management, and more than 20 corporations, the MIT Leaders for Manufacturing (LFM) program produces world-class leaders for manufacturing and operations.  This innovative two-year graduate program, created in 1988, includes an integrated engineering and management curriculum along with a six-and-a-half month internship at a partner company.  LFM focuses on theory and global practice from concept development through product delivery, including challenges faced on factory floors and in global supply chains.  Corporate partners provide generous fellowships for all students.
