PhD in Engineering Science

This is an interdisciplinary program administered through the College of Engineering and Architecture’s Office of the Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Programs, with students typically advised and funded through one of several departments in the College. The interdisciplinary nature of this degree provides considerable flexibility in designing programs of study tailored to the specialized needs of each student. Areas of specialization include (but are not limited to): biological systems engineering, atmospheric research, materials science and engineering, and bioengineering. These students often work in one of our interdisciplinary centers such as: Bioengineering Research Center (BRC), Center for Environmental Education and Outreach (CEREO), Center for Materials Research (CMR), Laboratory for Atmospheric Research (LAR), Composite Materials and Engineering Center (CMEC).
