Language English Duolingo English Test: 105 TOEFL iBT: 80 PTE Academic: 58 IELTS: 6.5 Credits 66 SCH Delivered On Campus Campus Location Ruston, United States Disciplines Molecular Sciences Overview Students in the program work with faculty in biological sciences, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics and statistics, mechanical engineering and physics. Key Features The curriculum requires a minimum of 66 credit hours, which include 15 to 18 credit hours of research leading to a dissertation. The PhD in Molecular Sciences and Nanotechnology from Louisiana Tech University is a collaborative interdisciplinary degree offered by the College of Applied and Natural Sciences (ANS) and the College of Engineering and Science (ES). Programme Structure Curriculum: The curriculum consists of 66 credit hours. All students are required to complete a common set of core courses (10 credit hours) that exposes students to nanotechnology and molecular biology. The curriculum also requires a minimum of 23 credit hours of electives, to be selected by the student in consultation with the doctoral advisory committee and 12 credit hours of special topics and directed study designed to provide considerable depth in the dissertation area. Admission requirements Academic requirements GPA: 3 English requirements Duolingo English Test: 105 TOEFL iBT: 80 PTE Academic: 58 IELTS: 6.5 General requirements A Master’s degree in biological sciences, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, electrical engineering, physics, or a closely related area is the expected qualification. Students with Bachelor’s degrees may be admitted directly to the PhD program on the basis of outstanding academic achievements (as evidenced by GPA, GRE, and scholarly achievement). Official GRE scores are required. It is expected that most applicants will have a minimum total score of 304 in the Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning sections with a minimum of 146 in the Verbal Reasoning section. At the discretion of the PhD Steering Committee, the GRE requirement may be waived in the case of exceptional students, especially for those with national fellowships, scholarships, or professional achievement.
