Ph.D. in Engineering (Industrial Engineering) - Solid Mechanics

University of Toledo

Admission for the Ph.D. program in Engineering with a concentration in Industrial Engineering requires the M.S. in Industrial Engineering or another engineering field provided the student shows evidence of an appropriate engineering background at the undergraduate level, including a minimum of two years of calculus through differential equations and one year of physics. Highly qualified B.S. engineering graduates can be admitted directly into the Ph.D. program. The graduate programs are open to all qualified individuals with a bachelor of science (B.S.)/master of science (M.S.) in engineering. Applicants should have a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 in previous undergraduate work and at least 3.3 in previous graduate work. Students with a degree in another field may be eligible for admission, provided they meet the minimum background requirement, which includes two years of calculus through differential equations and one year of engineering physics. In some cases, other prerequisite courses may be required. Course credits for meeting undergraduate prerequisites are not applied toward the graduate degree. Check individual programs for specific admissions requirements. A complete application for admission includes the following items: application for admission to the College of Graduate Studies; statement of purpose in the application that indicates the areas of engineering in which the applicant is interested; payment of the application fee; application for graduate assistantship to the College of Graduate Studies; (optional) two or three letters of recommendation, depending on program; official transcripts of all previous college-level work; scores of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), if required; financial statement (for international students); IELTS 6.5, TOEFL IBT 80, TOEFL PBT 550, PTE 58
