Civil Engineering

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Doctor of Science (D.Sc) In Civil Engineering

Requirements:

The Doctor of Philosophy and the Doctor of Science Degrees in Civil Engineering require the completion of a minimum of 60 academic units of graduate work beyond the Master's degree in Civil Engineering. 48 of the 60 units are composed of course work and the remaining 12 units are for the Doctoral Dissertation.

Prerequisites:

An earned Master's degree or its equivalent in Civil Engineering or a related area from an accredited or state?approved college or university.

Prescriptive Education:

40 of the 60 units must he taken as completed course work and the Doctoral Dissertation from the Institute as a minimum.

Transfer Credits:

A maximum of 8 units may he accepted in transfer from accredited colleges/universities or other state approved institutions.

Professional Experience:

A maximum of 12 units in lieu of life-work / professional credit can be awarded to students enrolled in any Doctoral program.

Curricula for Doctoral Degrees:

In addition to approved graduate level work taken prior to admission, requirements include groups of course work which support the student's specialization and establish a minimum of one (1) independent research project, and two (2) graduate level courses from two different doctoral specialization areas, i.e. independent reading and/or directed research. A minimum of one (1) course in statistical method; and one (1) course in theory and practice of empirical research are also required.
