The candidate's doctoral committee plays a major role in determining course requirements regarding the quantity and subject matter. However, certain minimum requirements are specified by the Program. These are:

ACS 501 Fundamentals of Acoustics I
ACS 502 Fundamentals of Acoustics II
ACS 505 Experimental Techniques in Acoustics
ACS 513 Digital Signal Processing
ACS 514 Electroacoustic Transducers
ACS 515 Acoustics in Fluid Media
ACS 516 Acoustical Data Measurement and Analysis
ACS 590 Colloquium

Those students who have had equivalent courses or can demonstrate competency in these required courses, may apply to the Program Chair for a variance. In addition, the student should complete courses identified by the Doctoral Committee.
