The complete information can be found in the . The main points are:
All graduate students need to fulfill the following preliminary exam requirements
for details, including the schedule for the upcoming prelim exams.
Prior to 2009, a preliminary exam for a course could be skipped if the course grade was sufficiently high. This option does not exist anymore.
A very useful website listing Academic and Registration Policies and Resources:
As stated in the , a student has to identify an academic advisor and an area of specialization within one year of passing the third prelim exam. At very latest, this would be before the end of the third year. It is recommended that you find your (potential) academic advisor already near the end of the 2nd year or the beginning of the 3rd year. Entering a research area as soon as possible will allow you to make optimal use of the time available during your doctoral studies, especially to build your portfolio of research results and publications; this will be of key importance for your further career. Also, the issue of timely graduation will be given more emphasis than in the past (with budgetary considerations being part of the reason).
You should inform yourself about the state of the art in mathematical research areas that might interest you; for this, you should develop the habit of attending to . To learn more about the research conducted by the faculty at our department, you should read their , and look into their and . Graduate Topics Courses provide an excellent way to learn about the mathematical research of some of our faculty members, but not every faculty member is teaching such a course in a given academic year. Asking a faculty member to conduct an individual reading course with you is an excellent way to initiate contact, and to gain an in-depth view of her/his research area. Often, a successful sequence of reading courses leads to the selection of an academic advisor. | Detailed information about the requirements for entering Candidacy are given by the Graduate School . The main steps are as follows.
The student and her/his advisor determine a candidacy committee of three (including the advisor) faculty members. The student has to pass an oral candidacy exam at latest by August of her/his 3rd year. After passing the candidacy exam, the supervisor sends a confirmation email to the . No forms need to be submitted up to this point.
To officially enter candidacy with the Graduate School, a PhD committee must be determined (the members can be selected independently from the candidacy committee), and the necessary documents have to be submitted to the Graduate School. The detailed requirements are given . Please read the directions very carefully.
Your PhD Committee has to consist of at least 3 GSC members (tenure stream faculty at our Department, including your supervisor) and one external member (from another Department at UT, or from another institution).
Once those steps have been completed, students ready to file the Application for Candidacy need to log in to UT Direct via
and Subsequently, all committee members, as well as the Graduate Advisor, will receive an email that requires their confirmation for finalization. For forms, important deadlines and general instructions, see .
| , or even better, accepted or published in a research journal. You should discuss with your advisor how to convert segments of your work into publications throughout the time of your candidacy, and not wait until near the end of your thesis. Also, if possibilities of collaborations with other people (your graduate colleagues, other faculty, etc) should happen to emerge, you should be open to those.
When you apply for your next job, your publications are your strongest asset in your application file. If you do not convert the work of your thesis into peer-reviewed research publications, it will not receive as much attention; but even in this situation, you should at least post your thesis on (otherwise, your thesis might not be much different from a term paper).
.
enlisting internship openings, see also .
As a preparation for a career in the industry, it is highly recommendable that you acquire strong programming skills.
This part of this FAQ site will be further extended in the near future. | Please at latest until the 2nd week of the semester if you intend to defend your PhD thesis in that semester.
Advancing to your PhD Thesis Defense contains a significant number of administrative steps, all of which are described here; please read all instructions here carefully.
Please do this at the beginning of the semester in which you plan to defend your PhD thesis. Note that it is usually a bigger challenge to have sufficiently many committee members attend to your PhD Defense with a summer submission than with a fall or spring submission (because many faculty will be traveling during the summer).
(Submission deadlines and instructions)
Read the instructions very carefully, and in full detail. Prepare forms well ahead of time. Many of these can only be submitted after your PhD Defense, at the time when your PhD Thesis can be uploaded in electronic form, see Step 5. However, the time between your PhD Defense and the submission deadline might be very short, and you will be busy with many other tasks.
See the link for the submission deadlines and instructions above that corresponds to the semester in which you plan to defend. The online Doctoral Graduation Application Form is not the same as the request for Final Oral Examination (Step 3). In particular, the online form has to be submitted first, it has an earlier deadline if your defense is late in the semester !
Here are the format guidelines for the PhD thesis and Latex templates:
For more info: (main page for forms)
Check with the members of your PhD Committee whether it is possible to schedule a time for your PhD Defense so that sufficiently many can attend.
There is no more choice between traditional and virtual option.
What is the minimum membership on dissertation committees ?
As before, it is 4 (3 GSC members + 1 outside member) What is the minimum number of committee members who must attend to the defense (physically or electronically) ?
All but one non-supervisory member of the committee must attend the defense, either physically or electronically. Requests to schedule a defense at a time when there will be more than one absence require approval of the Graduate Dean. If one member may be excused, is it still so that at least 4 members must attend ?
No. If a student has a five-person committee, four members of the committee including the supervisor(s) must attend the defense, either in person or electronically. If a student has a four-person committee, three members of the committee including the supervisor(s) must attend the defense, either in person or electronically. The "Gold Form" so far had to be signed by those committee members who attended physically. Who is going to sign it now ?
The "Gold Form" needs to be signed by the supervisor, those who physically attend the defense, and the GSC Chair. If all on the committee who attend do so electronically, who needs to sign the "Gold Form" ?
It has to be signed by the supervisor(s) and the GSC Chair.
Because faculty are typically busy and travel often, it is important that you start scheduling your dissertation defense well ahead of time. Check carefully if the are satisfied. If there is no possibility that sufficiently many committee members can attend to your defense either physically or virtually, you may need a change of committee. If so, you need to submit the following (to Main Building 101):
(to be submitted prior to your dissertation defense). Download it , and type the information into the pdf file (UT IDs can be found via the ).
Do Step 2 early enough to have sufficient time to send the three copies of the Doctoral Signature Page to all non-attending PhD Committee members for signing, see Step 4.
Once you have determined the date of your PhD Defense, and your definite PhD Committee, you have to submit the request for Final Oral Examination earlier than 2 weeks before the defense (to Main Building 101). (print on pink paper)
The form will only be accepted by the Graduate School if printed on pink paper (previously, there was another option requiring a form on green paper; this option does not exist any longer).
The following forms need to be signed at the time of the defense:
" to the student's supervisor who has to bring it to the PhD Thesis Defense. It has to be signed by all committee members who are present at the defense, and ( ).
The Gold Form does need to be signed by the Graduate Advisor.
The format of the Doctoral Signature Page is on pg 18 in the format guidelines
You need to write this form yourself. Have three copies ready as soon as possible, together with your thesis, because:

This class focuses on learning how to read scientific papers and how to grasp the main ideas, as well as on practicing presentations and getting familiar with important statistics literature. At the end of the first year, students are expected to take a written preliminary exam. The examination has two purposes: to assess the student’s strengths and weaknesses and to determine whether the student should continue in the Ph.D. program. The exam covers the core material covered in the core courses and it consists of two parts: a 3-hour closed book in-class portion and a take-home applied statistics component. The in-class portion is scheduled at the end of the Spring Semester after final exams (usually late May). The take-home problem is distributed at the end of the in-class exam, with a due-time 24 hours later. Year 2: Transitioning from Student to ResearcherIn the second year of the program, students take the following courses totaling 9 credit hours each semester: - Required: SDS 190 Readings in Statistics (1 credit hour)
- Required: SDS 389/489 Research Elective* (3 or 4 credit hours) in which the student engages in independent research under the guidance of a member of the Statistics Graduate Studies Committee
- One or more elective courses selected from approved electives ; and/or
- One or more sections of SDS 289/389/489 Research Elective* (2 to 4 credit hours) in which the student engages in independent research with a member(s) of the Statistics Graduate Studies Committee OR guided readings/self-study in an area of statistics or machine learning.
- Internship course (0 or 1 credit hour; for international students to obtain Curricular Practical Training; contact Graduate Coordinator for appropriate course options)
- GRS 097 Teaching Assistant Fundamentals or NSC 088L Introduction to Evidence-Based Teaching (0 credit hours; for TA and AI preparation)
* Research electives allow students to explore different advising possibilities by working for a semester with a particular professor. These projects can also serve as the beginning of a dissertation research path. No more than six credit hours of research electives can be taken with a single faculty member in a semester. Year 3: Advance to CandidacyStudents are encouraged to attend conferences, give presentations, as well as to develop their dissertation research. At the end of the second year or during their third year, students are expected to present their plan of study for the dissertation in an Oral candidacy exam. During this exam, students should demonstrate their research proficiency to their Ph.D. committee members. Students who successfully complete the candidacy exam can apply for admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. once they have completed their required coursework and satisfied departmental requirements. The steps to advance to candidacy are: - Discuss potential candidacy exam topics with advisor
- Propose Ph.D. committee: the proposed committee must follow the Graduate School and departmental regulations on committee membership for what will become the Ph.D. Dissertation Committee
- Application for candidacy
Year 4+: Dissertation Completion and DefenseStudents are encouraged to attend conferences, give presentations, as well as to develop their dissertation research. Moreover, they are expected to present part of their work in the framework of the department's Ph.D. poster session. Students who are admitted to candidacy will be expected to complete and defend their Ph.D. thesis before their Ph.D. committee to be awarded the degree. The final examination, which is oral, is administered only after all coursework, research and dissertation requirements have been fulfilled. It is expected that students will be prepared to defend by the end of their fifth year in the doctoral program. General Information and Expectations for All Ph.D. students- 2023-24 Student Handbook

  Meet Our Graduate Students Graduate students at The University of Texas at Austin are changing the world. They're transforming health care through research and technology, working to find energy solutions and helping to deepen our sense of history and culture. Read what our graduate students are doing, and follow us on social media to see even more features. What will you do as a graduate student? Graduate Student ProfilesAyesha mahmood (she/her).  Microbiology | College of Natural Sciences Ayesha Mahmood, a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate studying microbiology in the College of Natural Sciences, finds bacteria extremely captivating. “Picture something so minuscule yet incredibly sophisticated - a microcosm akin to a bustling city with all its intricacies. Each bacterial cell is complex, and when you consider the interactions of bacteria with their environment, other microorganisms and how they cause illnesses in humans, the potential for comprehension seems boundless. We find ourselves constantly battling these microscopic entities, but we are losing. I want to make sure that doesn’t happen.” The main goal of Ayesha’s research is to understand how antibiotic resistance-causing proteins produced by bacteria evolve, and to explore strategies to hamper this evolution, which, in 2019, contributed to 1.27 million deaths worldwide. Darya Pollock (she/her) Design | College of Fine Arts Darya Pollock, an international student from the UK, didn’t come to Texas just to conquer the two-stepping world; she was drawn by her desire to solve complex problems by identifying creative solutions. A 2nd-year master’s student studying design at the College of Fine Arts, Darya’s research focuses on making history more accessible and engaging for everyone. “Instead of just reading about history in books or seeing pictures of artifacts, I believe in bringing history to life by recreating ancient objects that people can actually touch, wear or hold. By adding a tactile element to the study of history, I aim to demystify the past and make it feel more real. My goal is to spark curiosity and a deeper connection to history by allowing people to interact with it in a hands-on way.” Prateek Mahajan (he/him) Finance | McCombs School of Business Inspired by his work at a forensic finance consulting firm before grad school, Prateek Mahajan now studies finance as a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the McCombs School of Business. He is currently investigating finance-related challenges ranging from identifying fraud in government programs and inflated valuations in auto asset-backed securities to understanding the drivers of shrinking homeownership rates. His first paper, co-authored with two UT finance professors, Drs. Griffin and Kruger, examined the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a COVID-era government stimulus program targeted at small businesses, for signs of fraud. Analyzing over a dozen different data sources, they were able to identify fraudulent activity in over 1.4 million loans representing more than $64 billion in taxpayer money.  Faith Deckard (she/her) Sociology | College of Liberal Arts Using a sociological lens, Faith Deckard’s work focuses on better understanding how people and their families navigate the criminal legal system and its aftermath. A sixth-year Ph.D. student studying sociology in the College of Liberal Arts, she tries to answer the question: how are people without direct contact impacted, and in some instances implicated, in the criminal legal system? Faith’s dissertation project examines the underexplored process of commercial bail and the experience of bonding a family member or loved one out of jail. A central finding of her work is that co-signed loan arrangements can be used to incentivize family members to surveil their loved ones through the completion of their criminal cases. Ryan A. Mata (he/him) Human Development, Culture, and Learning Sciences | College of Education Combining his interests in education and the psychology of learning, Ph.D. student Ryan A. Mata focuses on how facets of identity and culture play a role in educational trajectories and outcomes for adolescents and undergraduates. Ryan is a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Human Development, Culture, and Learning Sciences program in the College of Education, and also a member of the Leadership Team and the Coordinator of Student Partnerships at the National Disability Center for Student Success. Ryan pursues two lines of research - the first focuses on how institutions of higher education can provide inclusive learning environments so that disabled students can succeed academically. The second line focuses on how children develop beliefs about education through learning from parents, peers and their surrounding environment. Nirmalay Barua (she/her) Materials Science and Engineering | Cockrell School of Engineering Nirmalay Barua is a 3rd year Ph.D. student from Bangladesh studying gas sensing devices in the Materials Science and Engineering program. One of her current projects involves designing a smart mask for monitoring respiratory parameters in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a leading cause of death globally. Nirmalay’s proposed solution to managing COPD is BreathIQ, an AI-driven device providing remote access to pulmonary rehabilitation. It allows COPD patients to perform exercises with interactive instructions and receive feedback wherever they are. UT has been integral to nurturing and advancing Nirmalay’s research interests by providing excellent facilities and a collaborative atmosphere for doing innovative work. Isabelle Clark (she/her) Biological Anthropology | College of Liberal Arts Izzi Clark has always been fascinated by animal behavior and ecology. After studying wild lemurs in Madagascar as an undergrad, she became incredibly drawn to primates by their rich social lives and evolutionary proximity to humans. Before coming to UT, Izzi was a research assistant for the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project, where she met her now-advisor and mentor, Dr. Aaron Sandel. Ngogo – once the largest group of chimpanzees ever studied – was splitting into two smaller groups, causing a hostile territorial conflict. Her deep interest in understanding the causes and consequences of this rare split brought her to UT where she is now a 5th year Ph.D. candidate studying Biological Anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts. Elizabeth Ibiloye (she/her) Pharmaceutical Sciences | College of Pharmacy Elizabeth Ibiloye graduated with a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Health Outcomes division) from the College of Pharmacy this May. Her research has focused on exploring the patient experiences of individuals living with sickle cell disease (SCD) when they present to the emergency department (ED) in pain. Elizabeth’s project aims to address barriers and provide solutions that lead to more optimal health outcomes for this population, disproportionately affecting African Americans. This research was one of the factors that drew Elizabeth to UT in the first place. In addition to the robust pharmaceutical sciences curriculum and the strong reputation of College of Pharmacy graduates, she was interested in finding an environment that would enable her to tackle some complex questions. Greg Holste (he/him) Electrical and Computer Engineering | Cockrell School of Engineering Greg Holste has always been drawn to data analysis. Now a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, he is leveraging that skill to advance his research on medical artificial intelligence (AI). His most recent project focuses on detecting aortic stenosis (AS), a cardiac disease typically diagnosed using Doppler echocardiography. Greg and his research team at UT, in collaboration with Dr. Rohan Khera at the Yale School of Medicine, developed an AI model capable of automatically detecting severe AS using 2D echocardiography without Doppler. He credits UT, specifically the VITA group, with helping him advance his research. Ricardo Castro Agudelo Latin American Literatures and Cultures | College of Liberal Arts Ricardo Castro Agudelo is a 5th year Ph.D. student studying Latin American Literatures and Cultures in the College of Liberal Arts. In his research, he explores representations of violence in Peru and in his home country of Colombia. He focuses on the multifaceted nature of memory-building in the aftermath of violent conflict, and the key role of empathy and narrative in this process. “When you read or watch a representation, your brain's activity is engaged in a similar way as when you’re dealing with real-life scenarios. What we have uncovered is that this allows for eliciting empathy for others. It is something that storytellers throughout time have known intuitively. And it allows for better understanding in highly polarized societies, especially after internal conflict.” Jackie Yang (he/him) Counseling Psychology | College of Education Jackie Yang is a 1st year Ph.D. student studying counseling psychology in the College of Education He was drawn to this field because of its holistic approach, incorporating mental health, social justice and advocacy elements. His research projects have covered a range of topics: “In my first publication, we found that digital dating abuse, a form of intimate partner violence, is linked with external and internal stressors experienced by gay and bisexual men - the external stressor being discrimination and the internal stressor being internalized homophobia. I assisted on a second publication related to the demographic and behavioral factors associated with kratom usage, a traditional medicine in Thailand and Malaysia that produces a stimulant effect similar to opioids. The study demonstrated that White men and sexual minorities are at an increased risk for using kratom. These were very important findings for us.” Ayesha Rahman (she/her) Ayesha Rahman has always loved creating and has always wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. This has led her to pursue a Master’s in Design with a focus on health from the School of Design and Creative Technologies in the College of Fine Arts. In her last project, Ayesha focused on nutrition as a component in health. Her team interviewed many adults about their food and education choices. After analyzing troves of information, they identified three primary insights: that people valued learning from experiences more than formal education, that food experiences are heavily associated with people over any place, and that nutrition is not one-size-fits-all. These insights have guided her work in the field. Weixin Guan (he/him) Weixin Guan has always been interested in sustainability. As a chemical engineering major during his undergraduate years, he discovered the critical role materials innovation plays in pushing engineering practice to the next level. Now, as a 2nd year Ph.D. student studying Materials Science and Engineering at the Texas Materials Institute at UT, he’s doing just that. His current research is focused on solving the world’s growing water shortage problem. Two-thirds of the world’s population face some level of water scarcity, which has become especially critical in arid and inland areas. To address this, Weixin’s work is focused on atmospheric water harvesting - finding ways to extract and regenerate atmospheric water (also known as moisture) from the air we breathe. Kayla Longoria (she/her) Nursing | School of Nursing Being raised by a single mother in rural Texas, Kayla Longoria saw firsthand the consequences of scarce and often inaccessible health and mental healthcare resources on families. Those experiences encouraged her to become a first-generation college graduate, inspired her to pursue a career in healthcare and have shaped the way she approaches her research. A third-year Ph.D. candidate in the School of Nursing, Kayla’s research focuses on utilizing precision health methodologies to investigate perinatal mental health disparities. Miguel Jara (he/him) As a Fulbright scholar from Chile, Miguel has learned many things during his time in Austin but one of the most important has been the “Texan approach” – a phrase he describes as a strong-willed and tenacious spirit of solving problems and getting things done, even in the most challenging circumstances. Miguel is in his final year as a Ph.D. student in the Pharmaceutical Sciences program. The goal of his research is to generate viable pharmaceutical therapeutics for a drug, niclosamide, that cannot otherwise be usefully absorbed by the body. Sarah King (she/her) Special Education | College of Education As an individual with a learning disability and severe mathematics anxiety, Sarah never could have predicted that she would spend her academic career researching – and loving – mathematics. She is now a Ph.D. candidate in the College of Education where she centers her research around supports for culturally and linguistically diverse students with learning disabilities in math. For her dissertation research, she created an online professional development module called Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Mathematics Instruction (CLR-MI). She is exploring whether this module, when paired with a university-level mathematics methods course, increases pre-service teachers’ knowledge, understanding and ability to apply culturally and linguistically responsive practices into their instruction. Jaylen Wright (he/him) Health Behavior & Health Education | College of Education As a senior in college, Jaylen Wright attended the UT Division of Campus and Community Engagement Black Student Athlete Summit. Connecting with this impressive group of Black professionals and student athletes inspired Jaylen to pursue his Ph. D. in Health Behavior & Health Education in the College of Education's Department of Kinesiology and Health Education. Jaylen’s studies are focused on reproductive justice. With his work, he aims to address institutional racism and discrimination that new and expecting mothers face in the healthcare system. In addition to receiving multiple fellowship awards and being published in multiple academic journals, Jaylen has written a dissertation on the effects of prenatal stress on Black mothers and their children and defining safe care and culturally reflective healthcare practices. Emily Bamber (she/her) Geosciences | Jackson School of Geosciences Emily Bamber, an international student from Wales, is a 4th year Ph.D. student studying Geosciences in the Jackson School of Geosciences. Her research, recently published in December, focuses on how impact craters on Earth and Mars have been altered by river activity. “In my research, I focus on valleys that entered impact craters on Mars and Earth to help understand how water once flowed on the surface of Mars. When impact craters form, they form a circular pit on the surface that is surrounded by a crater rim, which can be thought of as mountains or hills around the circular depression. I’m interested in looking at the valleys that crossed the crater rim and figuring out how those rivers crossed what is basically a mountain belt. To answer this question, I’m using satellite imagery, computer modeling, and fieldwork at Lonar impact crater in India. Understanding the history of water will help us understand where to look for evidence of past life on the planet.” Rosana Duran Garibi (she/her) Rosana Duran Garibi is taking her work with the School of Design and Creative Technologies to tackle an unexpected but very important issue: eating disorders. Specifically, her research on Anorexia Nervosa aims to generate better understanding of what people suffering from the disorder experience and to help their family, friends and health professionals create open and empathetic dialog to provide better support during recovery. As an international graduate student, Rosana has worked in the US, Mexico and Scotland as a student, a teacher and a book illustrator. Bokyung Kim (she/her) Economics | College of Liberal Arts Bokyung Kim’s research focuses on how economies respond to sectoral shocks when reflecting firm-level heterogeneity and what that means relative to economic recovery and policy effectiveness. Bokyung is pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics in the College of Liberal Arts and chose UT for its renowned faculty and excellent reputation. One of her favorite aspects of the program is how her department fosters a close academic community while providing abundant opportunities for engagement with other students, faculty and scholars in the field. This has been important to her, especially as an international student from Seoul, South Korea. Nathan Moore (they/them) African and African Diaspora Studies | College of Liberal Arts A doctoral candidate in UT’s Department of African and African Diaspora Studies, Nathan Moore researches how Black artists push against the construct that time operates in a linear, forward-moving fashion. Nathan’s work supports the idea that the different imagination of time by Black artists empowers society to bring forth new ways of being that attend to ongoing violence while also crafting more livable futures. “I was excited to come to UT to work with professors who were deeply committed to a Black feminist and Black queer studies analysis of history and culture. I knew my project would not only be understood here but it would also be given rigorous and caring attention to be developed to the best of its potential.” Erin Kelleher (she/her) Middle Eastern Studies | College of Liberal Arts As a freshman in college, Erin Kelleher remembers watching the Arab Spring unfold across much of the Middle East and North Africa. Curious to learn more about the region, she signed up for her first Arabic course. Erin is now pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies in the College of Liberal Arts. Her research focuses on the cultural and social history of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Egypt. “I chose to study at UT because of my department’s emphasis on a regional understanding of the Middle East. Because I am interested in intersections of Ottoman and Arab histories, and the places where these histories are intertwined, this aspect of the department’s approach to the region really resonated with me.” Kaila Parker (she/her) Psychology | College of Liberal Arts As a Ph.D. candidate in UT’s Psychology doctorate program, Kaila Parker studies how growing up in a stressful early-life environment affects how children recover from traumatic brain injury. Kaila chose to bring her talent to UT because of the genuine interest that faculty members expressed in her research ideas. This faculty support and approachability has fostered a strong sense of security for Kaila and inspired her to step outside of her comfort zone during her time as a researcher at UT. Sarah Simi Cohen (they/them) Higher Education Leadership | College of Education Sarah Simi Cohen connects how the individualistic ideals of neoliberalism have changed higher education institutions to inflict experiences of trauma on students. In particular, they focus on the experiences of first-generation, low-income, queer and trans college students as a doctoral candidate in the Higher Education Leadership program at UT. Originally from the East Coast, Sarah came to Austin for the warm weather and stayed for the academic opportunity. The fellowship offer they received was a key deciding factor in their decision to attend UT. The network of peers and professors that surround Sarah has guided them throughout their academic journey. Phil Gurley (he/him) Global Policy Studies | LBJ School of Public Affairs Phil Gurley has taken the lessons he’s learned at UT far beyond classroom walls with his design of a city-wide recycling program for community centers in Monterrey, Mexico. Over the summer, Phil worked with the state of Nuevo to measure and improve recycling rates in the area. Phil conducted extensive research to inform his program proposal; he interviewed local residents, community center directors and business leaders to develop a range of recycling options that meet the varying needs of the five million residents of Monterrey. The LBJ School has provided Phil with the opportunity to create a unique path of learning to specialize his degree. The courses he has been able to take in departments outside of LBJ have deepened his focus on food and environmental policies internationally. Phil is especially grateful for the professors at UT who challenge him daily to think outside the box of conventional approaches to policymaking. Christos Kallo (he/him) English | College of Liberal Arts Christos Kalli uses poetry to map U.S. counterhistory of the epic form from the 1960s to the present. Christos focuses on how ethnic American writers creatively revised the social, political and cultural revolutions of the newly multicultural nation at the time. His research offers a comparative and theoretically innovative analysis of the epics by contemporary American poets. Collectively motivated by questions of social justice and belonging, the poets that Christos studies revised a literary form to renegotiate national values, oppose historically contingent inequalities and devise alternative forms of community. Christos’s valuable and unique research helps to carve out a central place for ethnic writers in the development of the epic form. Jonathan Hecht (he/him) Philosophy | School of Nursing Jonathan Hecht’s first-hand experience as a healthcare professional informs his research on the functionality of Rapid Response Teams in hospitals as a Nursing Ph.D. student at UT. His work explores the development of expertly trained nurses to support Rapid Response Teams as they combat patients’ clinical deterioration. A two-time UT Austin alumnus, Jonathan appreciates the approachability of his accomplished professors. Professors’ willingness to break down complex concepts into easily understandable terms has been a throughline during Jonathan’s Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. pursuits at UT.

Graduate handbooks are available within each program's office and online at https://utexas.box.com/v/UTAustinGraduateHandbooks . Please contact the program with concerns or questions. The MA degree focuses on actuarial mathematics and requires completion of at least 33 semester hours of coursework (11 three-credit-hour courses) to include Mathematics 389U , 389V , 389W , 389J , and 389P . Up to nine hours of upper-division undergraduate coursework may be used to satisfy program requirements, with no more than six of those nine in a single subject. At least 18 semester hours must be completed in Mathematics coursework, and at least six hours must be completed in supporting work, or coursework offered outside of Mathematics. Graduate program requirements vary by individual and are determined based upon on each student’s exam status on arrival. The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Mathematics is a research degree designed to prepare students to discover, integrate, and apply knowledge as well as to communicate and disseminate it. At the core of the program is the completion of a research project leading to a dissertation worthy of the PhD degree. The PhD degree formally requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of advanced coursework, including a minimum of six dissertation hours. High-performing students normally require five to six years of full-time enrollment (9-12 semesters or 81 to 108 semester hours) to complete requirements of the PhD degree. It is quite exceptional (applies to less than 1% of students, and only in unusual circumstances) that a student is able to complete the requirements in less than nine semesters. Students enrolled in the Mathematics Ph.D. program may apply to receive the MA degree after completing 30 semester hours of coursework and the report course Mathematics 398R , Master's Report , or 33 semester hours of coursework without thesis or report. The 30-33 hours are divided into major and minor areas. The major area consists of mathematics courses and the minor area consists of courses that are related to mathematics. Students should consult the graduate advisor about the courses that are allowable for the minor. Students must complete 18 to 24 semester hours in the major area and 6 to 12 semester hours in the minor area. While the overall degree generally requires five to six years, the distribution of the coursework and dissertation components of the degree varies considerably. Among other factors, it depends on the mathematical preparation of the student on entry. Each student is first required to pass preliminary examinations. The preliminary examinations are given once each semester. Of the 12 Prelim segments, students must pass at least seven in distinct areas, of which at least three must be by exam. A passing grade in a Prelim course is a “B”, while the passing standard for a Prelim exam is determined by the faculty committee administering that exam. The following list lays out the kinds of coursework required of all PhD students: - Required coursework: Prelim courses
- Elective coursework: Topics courses and graduate courses offered by other departments
- Conference courses
- Dissertation hours (minimum six hours)
It is of key importance that PhD students identify a faculty research supervisor who will supervise their dissertation research as early as possible in the program. A small advisory committee consisting of members of the Graduate Studies Committee and the faculty research supervisor is then formed. The advisory committee administers an advanced examination in the chosen area of specialization, during which the student gives an oral presentation and is questioned by members of the committee. The student must pass the advanced examination before admission to candidacy will be approved. A detailed description of the procedure for admission to candidacy is available in the Mathematics graduate handbook. Send Page to Printer Print this page.
