Graduate Program

http://graduateschool.nd.edu

Master’s programs in the College of Engineering require a minimum of two semesters in residence. At least 30 semester hours of graduate credit, which may include six credits for a thesis, must be satisfactorily completed to obtain the degree.

A candidate for the Ph.D. must spend a minimum of three years in full-time study and research beyond a bachelor’s degree, display proficiency and high attainment in scholarly endeavor and independent investigation, pass written Ph.D. qualifying exam, pass both an oral and a written admission-to-candidacy examination, and present a dissertation and successfully defend it in an oral examination. All requirements are expected to be completed within five years following completion of residence requirements.

While you can obtain information from each department in the College of Engineering, application and admission is granted through the University’s Graduate School.
