Ph.D.
Programs
UAF offers two programs suitable
for students interested in a Ph.D. in the area of environmental engineering
or environmental quality science.
The Ph.D. in Engineering program is designed for students with a prior degree in engineering. The research
area of the student usually focuses on an engineering topic.
The Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program (http://www.uaf.edu/gradsch/general/degrees/INDS/INDS_admissions.html)
is open to both engineering and science majors. This option is particularly
suitable for projects that encompass both scientific and engineering aspects
and which involve advisors from different departments of UAF.
Admission Requirements for Ph.D.
In order to maintain the highest quality program, the faculty members of the
Environmental Program have established stringent admission requirements. Admission
to the program is a sign that a student has demonstrated high academic achievement
and has a strong potential to successfully complete graduate studies. More
detailed information about the application process can be found in the section
