Ph.D. Program in Environmental Engineering

Applicants to the doctoral program are judged on the basis of academic excellence and the alignment of their research interests with those of the faculty in the School. To be awarded the Ph.D., students must complete a major research project publishable in peer-reviewed journals. The degree requires a total of 90 credits; credits earned toward a master's degree may apply toward the 90. There is no prescribed coursework—students must take courses needed to complete their research under guidance of an academic advisor. There is a one-year residency requirement. Students must successfully pass the candidacy examination, the proposal defense, and a Ph.D. dissertation and oral defense.

Prospective Ph.D. student are welcome to contact the Department to discuss their research interests.
