CEE-PMN - Civil and Environmental Engineering (PhD Minor)

A PhD minor is a program in another department that complements the student’s PhD program. A minor is not a requirement for any degree, but is available when agreed upon by the student and both the major and minor departments. The PhD minor is not available to students pursuing graduate degrees other than a PhD.

Each department offering a PhD minor establishes the core, elective, and examination requirements for the minor program. The major department determines acceptance of the minor as part of the student’s total PhD program. Approval from both the major and the minor departments must appear on the student’s Application for Candidacy for Doctoral Degree form. The minor department must be represented on the university oral examination committee.

A student desiring a PhD minor in Civil and Environmental Engineering must have a minor program advisor who is both a CEE faculty member and a member of the Academic Council. This advisor must be a member of the student’s University oral examination committee and on the reading committee for the dissertation.
