To provide such a high-quality educational experience, the PhD in OEH program will selectively enroll students who share faculty member(s) research interests. The program is primarily designed for full-time students.

All PhD in OEH emphases will be a minimum of 40 credit hours for those with an appropriate prior master’s degree and 64 for those without a prior master’s degree. In addition, the general OEH emphasis is designed to meet the American Board of Engineering Technologies (ABET) Applied Science Accreditation Commission (ASAC) requirements as applicable for those programs.
