Course Details
Course Structure
Applicants who wish to obtain a Ph.D. are, as a rule, initially admitted only to the MSEE program.During the MSEE year, a student who wishes to be admitted to the Ph.D. program must identify one or more potential Ph.D. advisers from the EE faculty, and inform those professors of his/her interest in working in the group.The student’s advancement towards a Ph.D. is monitored closely by the student’s research professor. Before the end of the student’s second year of graduate study, the student is expected to take a Ph.D. oral qualifying examination, during which the student is expected to describe in detail the preliminary results of his/her research, and to submit to questioning by professors who have taught the student one or more classes.
International Exchange & Double Degrees
Graduate students seeking funding to support research abroad at the graduate or postdoctoral level should contact major funding agencies in their field and research fellowship opportunities such as the Fulbright. The internet is a valuable tool and one excellent resource for such grants is GrantsNet. In addition graduate students can find books in the FASA Office library that provide information on such funding. Graduate students are also encouraged to speak with faculty in their department to obtain their advice on such funding.
