The Ph.D in Telecommunication engineering is awarded primarily to acknowledge the student's success in an original research project, the description of which is a significant contribution to the literature of the discipline. Applications for the doctoral program are therefore selected by the Telecommunication Engineering graduate committee on the basis of research aptitude, as well as academic record. Applications for the doctoral program are considered on the individual basis.
The following are guidelines for admission to the Ph.D. program in Telecommunication Engineering.
- A master’s degree in Telecommunication Engineering, or Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or a closely associated discipline from an accredited U.S institution or from an acceptable foreign university. Consideration will be given to highly qualified students wishing to pursue the doctorate without satisfying all of the requirements for a master’s degree.
- A grade point average in graduate course work of 3.5 or better or a better on a 4-point scale
Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation on official

from individuals who are familiar with the student record and able to
judge the candidate’s probability of success in pursuing doctoral study
in Telecommunications engineering.Applicants must also submit a narrative describing their motivation for doctoral study in telecommunication engineering and how it relates to their professional goals.
For students who are interested in a Ph.D., but are unable to attend school full-time, there is a part-time option. The guidelines for admission to the program and the degree requirements are the same as for full-time Ph.D., students. All students must have an academic adviser and an approved plan of study.
