Course summary
This is a research degree that represents the highest level of academic accomplishment in any field. Persons with this degree are expected to have demonstrated the ability to conduct independent research and also should have the level and breadth of knowledge about their field that one could reasonably expect of someone who has attained the highest academic degree in their field. Research performance, evidenced by preparation of a dissertation on an independently pursued research topic, is the primary requirement for the Ph.D. degree. Each program is designed in consultation with a faculty advisor to meet the special needs of the student, and must be approved by the DGS.
Entry requirement for international students
Students must have a bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent in a physical, chemical or biological science or engineering with a GPA of 3.0 or higher (4.0 scale). General examination GRE scores are required. Recommended academic preparation includes two courses each in calculus, chemistry, and physics, and one course in the biological sciences; computer-literacy (i.e. knowledge of basic computing skills); and competency in statistics (generally a 5000-level statistics course is taken as a supporting program course). Further preparation may be expected from students wishing to specialize in certain areas of the program. Students who do not have a master’s degree in a related subject are admitted to the M.S. program first, even if their long-term goal is a Ph.D. Availability of funding and willingness of a member of the graduate faculty to serve as an advisor are important criteria for admission to the Ph.D. program. A minimum TOEFL score of 80 is required for international students.
