Overview

The doctoral program allows ample opportunities for interdisciplinary research and collaboration across multiple departments.

Ph.D. students must meet several milestones, which culminate in a doctoral dissertation.

Features

Our Department requires that all doctoral students hold an M.S. degree.

Although students at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) are not required to hold an M.S. degree at the time of admission, they must complete an M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related field, before beginning their Ph.D. program requirements.
