Biomedical Enterprise Program (BEP):
A remarkable collaboration that closes the gap between good science and good business

The Biomedical Enterprise Program (BEP) exposes students to an integrated curriculum focused on the complex process of product development and commercialization in the health care industry. The program is jointly administered by the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) and the MIT Sloan School of Management.

MIT is an extraordinary learning environment located near the largest concentration of biotechnology companies in the world. BEP students have access to unprecedented research resources and faculty talent from MIT, Harvard, MIT Sloan, and Harvard Medical School — including the affiliated teaching hospitals. BEP's unique and fully integrated curriculum in biomedical science and business equips students with the intellectual foundation and entrepreneurial skills they need to discover and lead innovation in the biomedical industry.

The curriculum consists of the following key elements:

• Management Stream
• Biomedical Sciences Stream
• Clinical Experience
• Integrative Stream
• Thesis

There are two integrated dual-degree (SM, MBA) tracks for individuals who need training in both management and science and a single-degree post-MBA track for business executives who already have a graduate degree in management. In addition, there is an opportunity for students admitted to both BEP and Harvard Business School to pursue the SM and MBA degrees, although there is no formal integrated program.
