PhD in Engineering and Applied Science

General Progaram Description

The Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering and Applied Science (PhD ENAS) is an interdisciplinary, integrative degree involving faculty from the College of Engineering and the College of Sciences. The program is designed for engineers who need to improve their interdisciplinary skills and is intended for engineers who want to understand how to use technology as a competitive advantage and to use advanced methods to achieve that end.

Departments participating in the program are Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Engineering Management, Computer Science, Geology and Geophysics, Mathematics, and Physics.

  

Admission Requirements

Admission to the doctoral program is based on reasonable evidence that the applicant will prove capable of scholarly research on a broad intellectual foundation. All students enrolling in the program must have a Master’s degree from an accredited college or university in engineering, physics, mathematics, geology/geophysics, computer science, or a closely related field, or be willing to complete coursework required in an existing Master’s program in one of the participating departments at UNO while pursuing the Ph.D. Admission decisions will be based primarily on grade-point average, Graduate Record Examination scores, and letters of recommendation. Foreign applicants (non-English speaking countries) must also have a satisfactory TOEFL score.

The current requirements for admission in the PhD ENAS program in the Electrical Engineering Department include:

  1. GPA of 3.5 or better in all previous relevant graduate work
  2. GPA of 3.0 or better in undergraduate work leading to a B. Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  3. Scores of no less than 1200 in the verbal and quantitative parts of the GRE
  4. TOEFL scores of 550 or equivalent for international students
  5. Strong recommendation letters from former professors who are well acquainted with the student’s academic performance.
