The Ph.D. program prepares students for a career in industrial or government research or academia. Each student has the opportunity to work closely with a faculty research advisor throughout his or her residence at DSE. The program of study for each Ph.D. student is tailored to meet individual needs and interests. Each year BMCS admits fewer than a dozen outstanding students to the Ph.D. program. The division looks for individuals whose academic achievements, professional background and personal goals indicate that they have the ability, commitment, and desire to excel in research.
