The doctoral program in Engineering and Industrial Applied Mathematics is a joint program with the College of Engineering at California State University, Long Beach.   This program was developed with two educational goals.

• To draw upon the synergistic expertise of the research faculty at CGU and CSULB to offer an interdisciplinary degree that integrates advanced mathematical analysis with modern engineering techniques
• To formulate an individually tailored degree program that seeks to combine the applied mathematics field with one or more specific branches of engineering in order to fully enable graduates in their academic, research, or industrial careers

The key objective is to enable each student through a challenging combination of mathematics courses and engineering specializations: aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering. Programs of study for each student are carefully integrated to ensure the interdisciplinary nature of the academic research.

Degree Requirements

Coursework.  The joint degree program requires 72 units of graduate level coursework.  Students in the program take a minimum of 24 units of engineering coursework at CSULB and a minimum of 24 units of mathematics coursework at CGU.  Up to 24 units of applicable master’s level coursework may be brought in as transfer credit.  Transfer credit guidelines are detailed in the Registration and Degree Information  section of the Bulletin.

Preliminary Exams.  Four preliminary exams from student-designated topics are required: two at CGU and two at CSULB.

Research Tool.  One research tool is also required.  Refer to detailed information about research tools in the Registration and Degree Information  section of the Bulletin.

University Policies.  University policies detailed in the Registration and Degree Information  section of the Bulletin apply.
