Doctoral Dissertation |
|
|
Continue taking 9 hours of research and dissertation in the spring and fall until the dissertation is complete and the following conditions have been met. |
|||
- A minimum of 24 credit hours of non-research course work (excluding seminar) must be taken beyond the M.S. degree. For B.S.-to-Ph.D. students, a minimum of 42 credit hours of non-research course work (excluding seminar) must be taken. A maximum of 12 credit hours of undergraduate courses at the 3000, 4000, or 5000 level may be taken for graduate credit. (Graduate credit may not be obtained for 3000 level engineering courses. Undergraduate courses must be approved in advance by the Program Director and Associate Dean to count for graduate credit.) If these undergraduate courses are prerequisites to required graduate level work, they will be considered leveling courses and will not count toward the 24 credit requirement. Ph.D. students with non-environmental engineering M.S. degrees should concentrate on the environmental engineering courses offered while M.S. environmental engineers may emphasize course work outside the program.
- All Ph.D. students must take a minimum of 18 hours of doctoral research (8X98 courses) and 12 hours of doctoral dissertation (8X99 courses). "X" is the number of credits in any 8X98 or 8X99 course.
* Once Doctoral Dissertation credits are registered, enrollment in the University must be continuous until graduation.
