Doctor of Philosophy in Ocean Engineering

The PhD degree in Ocean Engineering ensures breadth across the various fields of ocean engineering along with cutting-edge research and practice capabilities in one of the focus areas – coastal works, off-shore-energy (oil, gas and renewables), naval architecture, and underwater robotics. Students take intermediate and advanced level courses in many key sub-disciplines of ocean engineering. Electives are offered for further specialization in focus areas. Thesis research focuses on cutting-edge contributions in a specific topic in the focus area.  The degree is appropriate for a career in research, policy making, and advanced practice in the chosen focus area. This degree program is offered on the College Station campus.
