Ph.D. Program in Chemical Engineering
The Department also offers, through the Graduate School, a program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemical Engineering. This program is intended for persons having an accredited master’s and/or baccalaureate degree in chemical engineering from U of L or another institution, but is available to those with other backgrounds. Remedial work may be specified for those applicants who, in the opinion of the faculty, are not sufficiently prepared to study advanced chemical engineering (e.g., B.S. biologists, chemists, physicists); approximately one year of undergraduate courses may be required. Students interested in the Ph.D. degree program should consult the Graduate School catalog or the Graduate Student Advisor of the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering
