The interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences (IBMS) program at Howard's Graduate School welcomes applicants with backgrounds in the biomedical and biological sciences, neuroscience, chemistry, biochemistry, health sciences, or biochemical engineering and computational sciences, environmental health sciences, and other related fields. The Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences program is designed to train the next generation of Ph.D.

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechanical Engineering at Howard's Graduate School is designed for students interested in a broad range of areas in mechanical engineering. Our students engage in high-impact research to solve real-life engineering problems. Our program welcomes applicants with a background in mathematics, applied physics, chemistry, engineering, or physical science-related fields. Our graduate program will prepare you, like many of our graduate alums, for a career in research and development, or industry, or to pursue doctoral study.

The Ph.D. in Biomedical and Chemical Engineering at Howard's Graduate School is designed for students interested in pursuing research studies in areas like infectious disease, food engineering, biomechanics and modeling, energy and sustainability, and environmental remediation. As a Ph.D. student in our program, you will develop a holistic understanding of ethical, environmental, and social responsibilities.

Howard Graduate School's fully online interdisciplinary M.S. in Applied Data Science and Analytics program prepares data-driven leaders to generate, analyze, interpret, and present complex data in compelling ways that solve real-world problems.

The Master of Arts (M.A.) in History at Howard’s Graduate School prepares students to pursue further graduate study at the doctoral level or for careers in education, public history, archives administration, law, public affairs, or research in the public and private sectors. Our M.A. in History program is noted for its strengths in regional, traditional, transnational, and comparative historical study.

In the Master of Science (M.S.) in Speech-Language Pathology program at Howard's Graduate School, you'll make a difference in the lives of children and adults as you help provide speech and language services to patients whose speech, language, or hearing is affected by developmental delays, neurogenic conditions, autism, brain injury, and other factors.

The Ph.D. in Physics at Howard’s Graduate School offers leading research programs in current and dynamic areas of physics, including quantum materials science, condensed matter and materials physics, elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, renewable energy, astrophysics, cosmology, biophysics, string theory, nanoscience, and optical spectroscopy. With such a rich offering of research areas, you'll have an opportunity to pursue research in most areas of contemporary physics.

The Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Howard's Graduate School welcomes applicants with backgrounds in the biomedical and biological sciences, pharmacy, chemistry, chemical or biochemical engineering, and other related fields. Our graduates have landed faculty positions at top universities and colleges and research careers in the pharmaceutical industry and in a wide range of public and private sector settings.

The Ph.D. in Sociology at Howard's Graduate School prepares students for academic careers and senior-level positions as social scientists in applied research and policy, social services, government, the public sector, and private industry. Recent program graduates have landed faculty positions at top colleges and research universities, including Georgetown University, George Washington University, Rosemont College, Alabama A&M University, and Bowie State University.

The M.A. in Sociology at Howard's Graduate School prepares students for careers in applied social science research and policy, social services, government, and private industry or to pursue further graduate study at the doctoral level. Our program is theoretically, empirically, and analytically rigorous. As an M.A. in Sociology student, you will learn to integrate sociological theory with quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches to conduct policy-relevant research and hone your ability to present your research results to multiple audiences.
