Overview

Computer Engineering students at George Washington University can expect to work closely with a faculty advisor in their chosen research area to create a curriculum plan and guidance for the doctoral dissertation.

Features

Students may also be expected to teach introductory-level courses to undergraduates, present conference papers, and work with faculty on research grant applications.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Students with a master of science degree must take a minimum of 30 credits, of which at least 18 credits must be in courses available for graduate credit, and at least 12 credits must be in dissertation research.

Students with a bachelor of science degree must take a minimum of 54 credits, of which at least 36 credits must be in courses available for graduate credit, and at least 12 credits must be in dissertation research.

The courses to be taken by the student must be approved by the student’s faculty advisor. In some cases, particularly when the student undertakes a doctoral program in a field other than that in which the earlier degree was earned, the program of study may exceed the minimum number of credits.
