电气工程与计算机科学哲学博士

哲学博士或理学博士学位的一般要求在“研究生教育”部分中给出。博士候选人应充分参与该部门的教育计划，并从事对知识有重大贡献的论文工作。作为准备，预计MIT电气工程和计算机科学工程硕士课程的学生将完成该课程。在系外获得学士学位但未完成硕士学位课程的学生，通常应符合前面所述的科学硕士学位的要求，包括论文。在其他地方完成硕士学位但没有重大研究内容的学生，必须先注册并进行等同于硕士学位论文的研究工作，然后才能继续攻读博士学位。
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science permits qualified MIT undergraduate students to apply for one of three Master of Engineering (MEng) programs. These programs consist of an additional, fifth year of study beyond one of the Bachelor of Science programs offered by the department. Doctoral candidates are expected to participate fully in the educational program of the department and to perform thesis work that is a significant contribution to knowledge. As preparation, MIT students in the Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science program will be expected to complete that program. Students who have received a bachelor's degree outside the department, but who have not completed a master's degree program, will normally be expected to complete the requirements for the Master of Science degree described earlier, including a thesis. Students who have completed a master's degree elsewhere without a significant research component will be required to register for and carry out a research accomplishment equivalent to a master's thesis before being allowed to proceed in the doctoral program.
