Industry PhD

Overview

The Industry PhD option at Dartmouth Engineering is designed for professionals already working in industry or in a national laboratory who want to pursue a PhD and engage in research at their current workplace.

Key Features

• 3 terms in residence with an approved waiver
• 2-3 terms of full-tuition support
• 30% tuition for remaining terms

Program Details

• Eligible applicants have at least two years of industry or national laboratory experience or an MS degree plus one year of professional experience
• Applicants must also be currently working in industry
• The program allows professionals to pursue a PhD under the guidance of Dartmouth Engineering faculty while conducting research with direct impact in their current field

Flexibility and Benefits

• Reduced residency: a minimum of three to six terms in residency
• Waived professional development requirement

Bridging Academia and Industry

• The Industry PhD begins with a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Dartmouth and the sponsoring company, outlining how intellectual property (IP) will be managed
• Depending on the project, the IP may be owned solely by the company, by Dartmouth, or jointly, with options to further negotiate license terms

Tuition & Funding

• Full-tuition support for two terms that students are in residence
• Additional support through teaching assistantship
• Significantly reduced tuition: 30% of standard tuition for any remaining fall, winter, and spring terms
• No tuition is charged in summer
• Additional health access fees still apply, with potential waivers considered on a case-by-case basis
• Students may be charged user fees, as deemed appropriate, for the use of Dartmouth's experimental, computational, or laboratory facilities
