PhD in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering

The PhD in Electrical Engineering is an academic doctorate for full-time students interested in research careers in academia, laboratories, or industry. Research areas include applied physics, devices, circuits, and imaging. The degree requires a minimum of seventy-two credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree. These must include a substantial amount of coursework and a substantial amount of research, and they may include work counted toward a related master's degree. A number of units may be transferred from another institution.
