In addition to the examination processes required of all Rensselaer doctoral students, environmental engineering students working toward this degree must pass a qualifying examination during the studentâ€™s second semester if a student has an M.S. degree counting as a degree requirement or at the end of the studentâ€™s fourth semester if the student does not have an M.S. degree counting as a degree requirement. Environmental engineering students must also take a candidacy examination within two semesters after passing the preliminary examination. This is an oral examination based on a thesis proposal submitted by the student at least two weeks prior to the examination. The studentâ€™s thesis committee will administer the candidacy examination. Environmental engineering candidates are required to submit a draft of a journal article prior to graduation.
