General Information about the PhD Program

Work leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is designed to give the candidate a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of his or her professional field and training in methods of research. The final basis for granting the degree is the candidate's grasp of the subject matter of a broad field of study and a demonstrated ability to do independent research. In addition, the candidate must acquire the ability to express thoughts clearly and forcefully in both oral and written languages. The degree is not granted solely for the completion of course work, residence and technical requirements, although these must be met.

For a detailed discussion of the specific requirements, please see the original sources of this information, the Texas A&M University Graduate Handbook, the Texas A&M University Graduate Catalog and Mays Doctoral Handbook.
