Study leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy is offered in two areas: environmental engineering and water resources and mechanics, materials, and structures. Each program has procedures for the completion of the general examination outlined under the appropriate areas of study.

Teaching experience is considered to be a significant part of graduate education. It is recommended that Ph.D. candidates assist with course instruction for at least one term.

Upon admission, an advisor is assigned in the student's area of interest. The plan of study for the first year is arranged by the student in consultation with the advisor and the department's director of graduate studies. A typical plan consists of eight courses, one being CEE 509, which is a required research course. Near the end of the first year, a student who wishes to continue as a Ph.D. candidate declares these intentions to the department. A research committee consisting of the advisor and 2 or more additional members shall be formed no later than after the General exam. The research committee meets at least once a year with the candidate to supervise his/her research progress.

Usually, two to three years beyond the general examination are necessary for completion of a suitable dissertation. Upon completion of these studies and acceptance of the dissertation by the department, the candidate will be admitted to the final public oral examination.
