Civil and Environmental Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
The requirements for the Ph.D. degree are also the same as those of the Graduate School. The student will work closely with an adviser to develop an approved program of study suited to his or her individual needs. Before admission to candidacy, the student must pass a qualifying examination, which is normally taken after the coursework is at least 75 percent completed. There is no language requirement for the Ph.D.
Advance to Candidacy: Doctoral students are required to complete 36 credits beyond the Bachelor's degree, which would include the credits earned in the completion of a Master's degree. A qualifying examination is required in order to advance to candidacy.
Post-Candidacy: A doctoral student who passes the qualifying exam is admitted to candidacy will automatically be registered for 6 credits of ENCE899. A minimum of 12 credits must be taken in ENCE899.
