About the course

A specialized program of study and research is tailored to each student's background, needs, and goals by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor and a departmental committee. A doctoral candidate's program should be broad and may include formal study in other departments in addition to the specialized subjects that prepare the candidate for thesis research. There is no foreign language requirement for the degree. Thesis research normally begins immediately after successful completion of the general examination by the end of the second year. The general examination is intended to test the candidate's aptitude and preparation for independent research. Thesis research is ly supervised by one or more faculty members interested in and knowledgeable about the research topic, who are chosen by the student and may be members of other departments. The thesis is expected to meet high professional standards, and to be a significant original contribution to the scientific field. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
