Admission Requirements

The PhD Degree in Telecommunications Engineering is awarded primarily to acknowledge the study in an original research project. Applications for the Doctoral Program are selected by the Telecommunications Engineering Graduate Committee on the basis of research aptitude, as well as academic record. The guides for admission to the PhD programs in telecommunications engineering include:

• A Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, or Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or a closely associated discipline from an institution of high education.
• A Grade Point Average (GPA) in Graduate Coursework of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 point Scale.
• Gre Revised scores of 154, 156, and 4 for the verbal, quantitative and analytical writers, respectively.
• Three letters of recommendation from individuals who are familliir with the study record and order to judge the candidate's probability of success in Pursuing Doctoral Study.
• A narrative describing the student's motivation for doctoral studies in telecommunications engineering and how it related to their professional goals.

Degree Requirements

The program requires a minimum of 75 semester credit hours beyond the Baccalaureate Degree, including at least 30 Semester Credit Hors of Graduate-Level Courses Beyond the Baccalaureate level in the Major Concentration. The core requirements for the PhD degree in Telecommunications Engineering are the same as the ones for the ms in telecommunications engineering. All PhD studies must demonstrate compete in the master's level core courses in their review area.

Dissertation

A dissertation is required and must be used by the grade program. A Student must arrange for a dissertation advisor willing to guide the dissertation. The student must have a dissertation supervising committee that consists of no less than four members. The dissertation may be in telecommunications engineering exclusively or may involve concerns work in an area of ​​application.
