The College of Engineering and Applied Science offers the PhD in Engineering degree with concentration in either Electrical Engineering or Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The interdisciplinary nature of this program enables our students to devise programs of study that better suit their interests and needs. More information can be found at the links below.
In addition, the Computer Science Department offers PhD programs in Computer Science and Security. These programs are stand alone PhDs, and not part of the Engineering, PhD program. More information can be found at the links below.
For general information about this program, students are encouraged to contact Associate Dean Michael Corl at (719) 255-3543 or by email at mcorl@uccs.edu.
Students interested in research areas with an emphasis in Electrical or Computer Engineering should directly contact the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at (719) 255-3548.
Students interested in research areas with an emphasis in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering should directly contact the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at (719) 255-3243.
