  Curricular Layout for Post-graduate (Ph.D.) Degree Programs

 

Like M.S. programs, the Ph.D degree programs are also available in most of the above departments. The Ph.D. degrees are offered mainly on research. However, course(s) work may be needed whenever appropriate, as recommended by the candidate's supervisory committee. The Committee for Advanced Studies & Research (CASR) is responsible for admission, coordination, development and supervision of post-graduate research (both M.S. & Ph.D.)
