Overview
Education
The emphasis is on research. In general, there are no formal course requirements. All students, in consultation with their advisors, develop appropriate course programs that will prepare them for the Preliminary Qualifying Examination and for their dissertation research. These programs must be planned to meet the time limits established to advance to candidacy and to complete the requirements of the degree.
All Ph.D. Students from the Chemical Engineering Program at the University of California, San Diego are required to pass four examinations. The first is a Preliminary Qualifying Examination (Comprehensive Examination), which should be taken within three to four quarters of full-time graduate study.
The second is a Literature Review Examination (detailed below), which should be completed by the end of the second year. The third is the Ph.D. Senate Exam (often referred to as ‘Advancement to Candidacy Exam’). The last is the Dissertation Defense.
