Research Funding

Over the past fourteen years, our college research expenditures have grown from $30 million per year to $95.8 million per year, driving the number of Ph.D. students from 270 to 664 in the College of Engineering.  As a result of the ever-increasing need for top students, we are paying the application fee for domestic Ph.D. students, and most of the fees for other graduate students.

Our Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate program offers a number of collaborative and interdisciplinary research opportunities. Our students have access to state-of-the-art laboratories, including the Utah Nanofab, and a network of faculty conducting world-class research in diverse specialties. Student financial support is available through fellowships, research and teaching assistantships. All of our PhD students are financially supported in full by either one or a combination of these sources.
