ment must be taken in the College of Business Administra-
tion.
 Research Foundations Requirement.-AII students must
complete a six-course research skills sequence that pre-
pares them for scholarly research in their chosen area of
concentration. Research foundations are defined as es-
sential methodological tools (e.g., statistics, quantitative
analysis) and/or substantive content domains (e.g., psy-
chology, economics) outside the student's major field that
are considered essential to conducting high quality re-
search in the chosen field. The specific research skills
required by each area of concentration can be found in
the field descriptions in this Catalog.
 Other requirements for the Ph.D. degree include satis-
factory completion of graduate course work in the major
field of concentration, as well as one or two supporting
fields designed to add depth to the student's research
training. The areas of depth are selected by the student in
consultation with his or her advisory committee, and may
be within or outside the College of Business Administra-
tion. Other requirements for the Ph.D. are given in the
General Information section of this Catalog.

process control, process dynamics, optimization, separa-
tion processes, and (3) interdisciplinary chemical
engineering-energy conversion and fuel cells, corrosion,
electrochemical engineering, polymer science, micro-
electronics, process economics, biofluid mechanics, and
bioengineering.
 Beyond the Graduate School requirements, admission
to graduate work in chemical engineering depends upon
the qualifications of the student, whose record and rec-
