PhD Mechanical Engineering at University of Florida

Entry requirements

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers the degrees of Master of Science (thesis or non-thesis), Master of Engineering (thesis or non thesis), and Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering. Official minimum requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog. Master of Science & Master of Engineering Any Master’s degree candidate will pursue the Master of Science degree (M.S.), however only those holding ABET-accredited baccalaureate degrees in engineering may choose the Master of Engineering degree (M.E.). All other degree requirements remain the same. A Master’s degree candidate should establish a Plan of Study by the end of the second term of enrollment. As the candidate progresses toward their degree, any deviations in their program from an approved Plan of Study should be recorded by the submission of a revised Plan of University-wide graduate admission (not specific to this programme): application through the UF graduate application; official GRE scores are required by most programmes (GMAT for MBA applicants), per programme; transcripts, a CV or resume and letters of recommendation where the programme requires them.
