Ph.D. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The Ph.D. degree represents the highest degree awarded by universities in the United States. The Ph.D. degree usually requires course work beyond that required by a master's degree program in the same discipline, but is primarily characterized by the Ph.D. dissertation requirement. The Ph.D. dissertation should contain significant original research and should contain material suitable for publication as a refereed manuscript, normally as a research journal article or articles. The recipient of a Ph.D. degree should possess a broad knowledge of his or her discipline and should be prepared for a lifetime of creative intellectual inquiry. The Ph.D. dissertation should establish the candidate's ability to read and comprehend the literature, to formulate a significant intellectual problem, to formulate the solution to the problem utilizing state-of-the-art knowledge and creativity, and to communicate the findings in a lucid, professional document, the Ph.D. dissertation. Admission. An applicant must havea caccalaureate degree in engineering, physics, or mathematics from an accredited institution. A student with a baccalaureate degree must meet the requirements for admission to a master's program within the division. Admission for Ph.D. work then requires at least a 3.5 grade point average in the first 30 hours of graduate work and approval of the graduate faculty in the department and the Dean of the Graduate School. All applicants must take the General Tests of the Graduate Record Examination prior to admission and have an official copy of the scores submitted to the Graduate School. It is emphasized that the above requirements are minimum requirements. It is expected that the qualifications of students entering the program will substantially exceed the minimum requirements.

Normally, parttime students are not admitted to this program. Applicants must designate their major fields of research interest. Applicants usually are selected for admission on February 1 and September 1, but will be considered throughout the year.

A minimum score of 6.0 on the IELTS examination may be substituted for the TOEFL.

At least 20 credit hourse of research and dissertation (including mater's degree thesis). 2.
