PhD in Ocean Engineering in Durham United States | University of New Hampshire

As a doctoral candidate in our ocean engineering program, you'll focus on creating practical, eco-friendly solutions to the pressing challenges endangering marine ecosystems and our planet. Coastal population growth, escalating sea levels, and intensifying storm systems represent just some of the critical areas where ocean engineers are making an impact. This multidisciplinary curriculum equips you to collaborate with experts across various ocean science fields. With growing demand for marine engineers and limited ocean engineering programs available nationally, career prospects are exceptionally promising.

Applicants accepted into our ocean engineering Ph.D. program typically hold undergraduate degrees in conventional engineering fields, physics, mathematics, computer science, or occasionally marine science. Candidates entering with an engineering bachelor's degree can usually transition directly into doctoral studies. Those with physics, mathematics, or computer science backgrounds will undergo more thorough transcript evaluation, as they may need to complete supplementary coursework.
