- All College of Graduate Studies general Degree requirements must be met
- The student shall complete a residency of at least one year
- Completion of candidacy is a qualifying examination designed by the student's dissertation committee. The purposes of this examination are to test the ability of the student to comprehensively relate the subjects of the study program and to ascertain the student's qualifications to perform the field study. Students who pass the qualifying examination are admitted to candidacy. Students who fail to pass the qualifying exam are allowed to schedule a re-examination within six weeks after the first attempt. Failing to pass the qualifying exam for the second time will remove the student from the D.E. program.
- After the student is admitted to candidacy, a research proposal must be presented to the doctoral dissertation committee within six months after passing the qualifying examination. Upon committee approval of the proposed engineering research through an oral defense, the research work is initiated
- The D.E. degree must be completed within 10 consecutive years of study
- Students who have not earned a masters degree in engineering are required to take at least 33 credit hours coursework
- Students who do not have a degree in Civil Engineering may be required to take additional leveling courses
