PhD Students

Office of Doctoral Programs

The Office of Doctoral Programs provides services and resources to assist students in the successful pursuit of their PhD degrees. All engineering PhD students are welcome to stop by to discuss their academics and student life, and especially enrollment, academic progress, academic integrity, financial aid, fellowships, curricular practical training (CPT) and post graduation optional practical training (OPT).

Please note that the Office of Doctoral Programs does not replace departmental academic advisement. Advice on courses and research is provided by faculty in the respective departments. Departmental staff can also answer questions and direct students to proper faculty. For the list of staff advisors in the departments, click here.
