schoolSchool of Engineering and Applied Sciences
The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (HSEAS or SEAS) serves as the connector and integrator of Harvard's teaching and research efforts in engineering, applied sciences, and technology. SEAS' core tenets are educating broad-minded students; inter-disciplinary research; integration across disciplines; and balancing theory, experimentation, and practice, create an unmatched environment for learning and exploration. Through collaboration with researchers from all parts of Harvard, other universities, and industry, SEAS members bring discovery and innovation directly to bear on improving human life and society.
Note: The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences was formerly called the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS). In December 2006, Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) voted to recommend to the Harvard Corporation that the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS) change its name to the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). In February, the Harvard Corporation and Overseers formally officially approved the name change.
