Overview
The Civil Engineering student from University of Houston first registers as a post MS student until they pass the Qualifying Examination, they are then Ph.D. students. Once the student passes the Candidacy Exam, they are considered Ph.D. Candidates. During the period of study, the students are expected to carry out original research, which must be written up in a dissertation and defended before a committee.
Features
- Generally, Ph.D. students are offered financial aid in the form of teaching and/or research assistantship. Financial support includes medical insurance and qualifies the student for the lower, Texas-Resident Tuition.
- A tuition scholarship may also be awarded that covers up to nine hours of tuition per semester.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- A minimum of 12 hours of credit in Civil Engineering courses (6000 level or above numbered courses) in the student's major and supporting areas.
- A minimum of 9-credit hours of 4000 level or above numbered courses in related fields of study outside Civil Engineering. (If justified, a course in 3000 level outside the Engineering College may be accepted with a prior approval.)
