Caltech awards the PhD degree principally to acknowledge a scholar's comprehensive knowledge, profound research contributions, and ability to conduct independent, effective investigations - not merely for finishing a prescribed curriculum within a set timeframe. Degree requirements include conducting original research, composing a thesis documenting this work, and pursuing advanced systematic studies, mainly in scientific or engineering disciplines. Candidates must also demonstrate articulate communication skills in both spoken and written English.
