Vivien Thomas PhD Scholars

The  Vivien Thomas Scholars Initiative (VTSI)  is an endowed fellowship program at Johns Hopkins for PhD students in STEM fields. It provides full tuition, stipend, and benefits while also providing targeted mentoring, networking, community, and professional development opportunities. Students who have attended a historically Black college and university (HBCU) or other minority serving institution (MSI) for undergraduate study are eligible to apply. To be considered for the VTSI, you will need to submit a SOPHAS application, VTSI supplementary materials, and all supporting documents (letters, transcripts, and test scores) by December 1 , 202 3 . VTSI applicants are eligible for an application fee waiver , but the fee waiver must be requested by November 15, 202 3 and prior to submission of the SOPHAS application.

Vivien Thomas

All full-time PhD students receive the following support for all years of the program: full tuition and fees, individual health insurance, University Health Services fee, vision insurance, dental insurance, and a stipend for living expenses for students who remain in good academic standing. PhD students are required to serve as a teaching assistant for at least one term, in either their 2nd or 3rd year.

Need-Based Relocation Grants Students who  are admitted to PhD programs at JHU starting in Fall 2023 or beyond can apply to receive a $1500 need-based grant to offset the costs of relocating to be able to attend JHU.   These grants provide funding to a portion of incoming students who, without this money, may otherwise not be able to afford to relocate to JHU for their PhD program. This is not a merit-based grant. Applications will be evaluated solely based on financial need.  View more information about the need-based relocation grants for PhD students .

PhD Program

Main navigation, phd program in bioengineering.

Study for the PhD in Bioengineering combines rigorous coursework with novel research mentored by Stanford faculty, enabling students to develop as independent intellectual leaders working at the interfaces between biology, medicine, engineering, and the physical sciences. Our mission is to train students at the intersection of biomedicine and engineering in both academia and the burgeoning biomedical and biotechnology industries. Applicants should have a commitment to learning and a passion for research. 

On average, the program is completed in five to six years, depending on the student’s research and progress. First-year students have the opportunity to rotate in three different labs before selecting their dissertation advisor (PI). Many students choose to join labs in the Bioengineering department, but we also have several students who join labs within the Schools of Engineering, Medicine, and Humanities & Sciences. 

The Bioengineering Department also believes that teaching is an important part of graduate-level education in Bioengineering. Consequently, serving as a teaching assistant for two courses is a requirement for the PhD in Bioengineering. Current BioE and Stanford graduate students can learn more about our TA opportunities via our BioE intranet .

Along the way to the PhD degree, students have clear and defined milestones that help guide them to the successful completion of their dissertation and oral defense. More information regarding our PhD degree requirements and milestones can be found in the Stanford Bulletin .

What We Look For

BioE PhD students come from a wide variety of personal, educational, and professional backgrounds. We welcome applicants with undergraduate degrees in diverse STEM disciplines including Bioengineering, Biophysics, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biochemistry, Physics, and Chemistry. There are no specific course requirements for applicants, but a competitive candidate will have strong quantitative training in mathematics and the physical sciences, along with a background in biology acquired through coursework or prior research. All admitted graduate students should be prepared to take the core courses  in the first year.

We welcome students entering directly from undergraduate programs, as well as applicants with MS degrees and/or substantial work experience in areas ranging from biotechnology to robotics. Our admissions committee will look for evidence that an applicant has demonstrated qualities of successful PhD students such as creativity, self-initiative, dedication, and perseverance. We also aim to admit bioengineering students who can thrive at Stanford because their specific interests and aspirations are well-matched with the research of our faculty and the educational environment of our department

Incoming Student Profile

The Bioengineering community is home to over 165 PhD students who come from a variety of diverse backgrounds and experiences. Below is a snapshot of our BioE PhD cohort that started in Fall 2020.

PhD Biotechnology in USA without GRE

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is a standardized test which judges the analytical, verbal and quantitative skills of students seeking admission into masters or doctoral degree programs in the United States.

PhD Biotechnology in USA Fees & Cost of Living

For an international student planning to pursue  higher education in the US , being aware of the tuition fee and other expenses they will incur, is crucial information which will help plan and procure (if the need arises) the funds necessary for their sustenance, well in advance.

The tuition fee charged for MS Biotechnology at various universities across America is not the same and relies on factors such as nature of the university (private/public), location, number of credit hours/course units etc.

Doctorate Biotechnology in USA costs  $15,000-$30,000  per year. And that is just the tuition fee. While actually applying to colleges in the United States, there are many more expenses to cover for international students. These expenses include:

  • GRE fees: $205
  • TOEFL/IELTS fees: $170
  • VISA  fees: $160
  • Application Fees: $1000
  • Surplus Application Fees: $160
  • Flight Fares: $1000 (one way)

These expenses might not seem as hefty as the tuition fee and accommodation charges, but the sum of these is not trivial enough to be neglected. Instead, students should judiciously select the colleges that they want to apply in to reduce application fee charges.

Accommodation is available in different modes across American colleges. While on-campus housing is the most favored and recommended accommodation available to international students, candidates can also choose to live in off-campus shared apartments.

Cost of living in the US  ranges from $500 to $1000 per month depending on the type of accommodation students opt for. Most on-campus dormitories come with basic utilities such as electricity, water and food and are considerably cheaper than off-campus apartments which require tenants to pay separately for the utilities.

Conclusively, pursuing doctorate Biotechnology in USA will cost around $55,000 for international students. This is an estimated cost that might change in accordance with scholarships or other modes of financial aid that the students receive.

For a study abroad aspirant, looking for a cheaper option to study biotechnology, Canada can be your study-destination.  Doctorate in biotechnology in Canada  from some of the top universities will cost you around 30,000 to 57,000 USD.
