Course Requirements

The PhD program requires a minimum of 24 credit hours of course work beyond the master's degree and 24 credit hours of dissertation work. The course work consists of a minimum of 12 credits in the area of concentration within a major, 6 credits in an area related, and 6 credits in an area other than the candidate’s field of research, which can be taken from within or from outside the CEE department. All selected courses must be approved by the graduate student's adviser. It is expected that the student will be involved in setting a plan of course work with the help of the dissertation adviser that is consistent with the area of research.

The PhD course descriptions are listed in the masters' program sections for CE and EWRE.
