Description

A program of study is determined by the candidate and the Dissertation Committee. A typical program consists of 24 semester hours of course work beyond the Master of Science degree. The PhD program, however, must consist of at least 16 semester hours of course work. The exact nature of the program of study will vary among candidates depending on the dissertation subject area and the candidate's preparation. The program will include one minor area of study consisting of at least 8 semester hours of course work beyond the Master of Science degree in an area other than that in which the candidate is concentrating. The minor may be in another discipline within electrical and computer engineering or the minor area may be in another relevant technical or scientific discipline. The candidate must achieve an overall minimum 3.000 QPA and a 3.000 QPA in the minor area.
