The Ph.D. program in Textile Engineering and Science is primarily an advanced researchoriented program that will be offered to selected graduates of M.S. textile engineering programs. Students from other M.S. textile engineering programs that are offered internationally will also be considered for admission. Candidates with advanced engineering degrees in fields other than textiles, e.g., mechanical, chemical, or materials, may be considered for admission if they agree to take master’s-level textile engineering courses at Philadelphia University. The credits they receive for these additional courses will not take the place of
the required nine credits of minor courses in engineering, and they will serve as foundation level courses.

Standardized Test Requirements

Applicants to the Ph.D. program who have master’s degrees in textile engineering (or other acceptable fields as noted above) from a university in the United States are not required to submit GRE or TOEFL scores
for admission. For all other students (international students and those who do not have an acceptable master’s qualification) the requirements for the admission to the M.S. in Textile Engineering program will apply.

Graduate Research Assistantships

All students admitted to the Ph.D. program in Textile Engineering and Science will be offered research assistantships funded through external grants and contracts. The selection of students is based on the suitability
of students’ backgrounds and their interests in fields that match those of the funding professor.
