Course Details
Course Structure
The Ph.D. degree is a research degree and students normally begin research during their first year. As soon as the entering student has selected a research adviser, an advisory committee is established to develop an appropriate course of study designed to meet individual needs. The Ph.D. degree consists of completion of a suitable program of study, a preliminary doctoral oral exam, a written comprehensive examination that is satisfied by cumulative examinations, an original research project culminating in a dissertation, and a final oral examination.
International Exchange & Double Degrees
The Department of Applied Physical Sciences offers an M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science. Bringing together faculty from chemistry, physics and astronomy, and various departments in the health sciences, including dentistry, orthopedics, and biomedical engineering, our program has been rated among the top Material Sciences programs in the country by the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index
Internships
Internships are mentored, one-on-one experiences that offer students individual practical experience in settings that match their particular interests. When possible, internships tie in with a student’s other coursework to magnify and extend the impact of the internship, and to provide benefits to both students and host organizations. Because of the broad range of disciplines that intersect with environmental studies and sciences, the menu of possible internships is rich and varied.
Requirements
Research & Technical Papers
