<h2>Cooperative PhD Program</h2>
<p>The School of Engineering at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville participates in the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Engineering Science offered by the College of Engineering at SIUC. A memorandum of understanding exists between two campuses that designates SIUE as an approved residence center. As a result, the coursework completed at SIUE is applicable toward the residency requirements of SIUC.</p>
<p>The collaborative PhD program is supported by research activities and projects of the SIUE School of Engineering faculty. The School is currently housed in the 190,000 square-foot Engineering Building that also includes state-of-the-art laboratories for research and instruction.</p>
<p>The following departments within the School of Engineering participate in the collaborative PhD program:</p>
