Inter-institutional Ph.D. Program Summary

The College of Engineering at UNC Charlotte has a cooperative arrangement with North Carolina State University (NCSU) to provide Ph.D. degree candidates located in Charlotte and enrolled in the Ph.D. program at NCSU with the opportunity to carry out most of their course work and dissertation research at UNC Charlotte. In addition to courses available at UNC Charlotte, selected doctoral-level courses from other participating institutions are available via the NC-REN telecommunications network.

Admission Requirements

Requirements for admission to the cooperative Ph.D. program are:
  • The student must have previously earned a master's degree in engineering at UNC Charlotte or another accredited university.
  • The student must be accepted by a department in the UNC Charlotte College of Engineering.
  • The student's academic interests must parallel those of a UNC Charlotte faculty member who has been appointed to the NCSU graduate faculty or who is deemed eligible for such appointment.
  • The student must be sponsored and recommended for admission to the NCSU Ph.D. program by the department in which he or she has been accepted at UNC Charlotte. The student must be accepted by the NCSU Graduate School and the corresponding engineering department at NCSU. This acceptance by both UNCC and NCSU constitutes admission to the Ph. D. program which normally should be completed within the second semester of work beyond the master's degree.

Degree Requirements

The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is to be awarded by NCSU to students who have accrued expanded knowledge beyond the master's degree and have demonstrated the capability to undertake and accomplish significant research in a specialty area with a minimum of supervision. The specific degree requirements are available from the appropriate department at North Carolina State University.
