THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM

The Ph.D. in Engineering Science with an emphasis in aeroacoustics requires as a minimum 66 semester hours of graduate credit beyond the baccalaureate degree. The student's adviser must approve all course selections. A preliminary examination is required at or near the beginning of the student's work beyond the master's degree and a comprehensive written examination must be passed before entering the dissertation process.

THE MASTER OF SCIENCE PROGRAM

The thesis and nonthesis options are available to receive the M.S. in Engineering Science with an emphasis in aeroacoustics. Both options require as a minimum 30 semester hours of graduate credit (to include 6 hours of math-related courses) in which the student's adviser must approve all course selections. Under the thesis option, the minimum of 30 graduate credits shall consist of 24 hours of graded course work and 6 thesis hours. The non-thesis option requires as a minimum 30 hours of graded course work. Regardless of option, each candidate must pass a final oral examination.
