This research-focused Ph.D. program provides diverse specialization options in electrical, computer, and biomedical engineering. Requiring at least 72 credits post-bachelor's degree, students can apply up to 30 credits from a master's degree toward this total. The remaining credits are divided between coursework and dissertation research. Those entering with a relevant master's typically complete 18-24 dissertation credits, while students without one may take 18-30 (additional dissertation credits can be taken without counting toward degree requirements). The program mandates both a qualifying exam and a comprehensive exam after finishing all coursework. All candidates must complete two credits of departmental seminars (ELE 601 and 602), which don't count toward the 42 credits required beyond the master's level.
