Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The cornerstone of a Ph.D. education is a research-based thesis. First, candidates select a research area, and choose a faculty mentor called a thesis advisor. The advisor then guides the student as they develop a plan of investigation to advance the state-of-the-art in the selected research area.
- By the end of the student’s thesis research, the student must have assembled an expert’s level of knowledge in the topic area and must demonstrate the ability to conduct an independent investigation.
