Normative Degree Time for M.S. and Ph.D. Programs
The Graduate Studies Committee at The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, which is composed of members from each graduate program in the school, reviewed and agreed to the adoption of the following policy regarding normative time to degree for students who are enrolled full-time.
M.S. Degree -
The normative time to degree is two years.
M.S. Degree - Plan II. Comprehensive Examination Option
The normative time to degree is one year and one quarter. However, the normative time to degree for students who elect to complete a project and project report as part of the Comprehensive Examination Option is one year and two quarters.
Ph.D. Degree - (For students who enter without an M.S. degree)
The normative time for Advancement to Candidacy is three years. The normative time to degree is five years. The maximum time to degree is seven years. All students who obtain a Ph.D. must have first obtained an M.S. degree. Thus, the normative time to degree for a Ph.D. depends on whether the student has completed a M.S. degree in a related field before they enter the Ph.D. program or earns the M.S. degree at UCI.
Ph.D. Degree - (For students who enter with an M.S. degree)
The normative time for Advancement to Candidacy is two years. The normative time to degree is four years. The maximum time to degree is seven years.
