Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium (IUEDC)

Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium (IUEDC)

The Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium (IUEDC) offers eligible doctoral students the opportunity to take graduate courses at distinguished universities throughout the greater New York area without additional tuition. Established in 2023, the IUEDC offers students an enormous array of courses and opportunities for contact with faculty and other students in their fields.

The IUEDC will be open to doctoral students from participating schools in good academic standing who have completed at least one year of full time study toward the Ph.D and who have obtained written approval from their home and host institutions.

We will be accepting IUEDC registration for Fall 2024. We are processing IUEDC forms via email. Students must use the writable pdf IUEDC form on this page and their official home institution email address. No handwritten forms or non-school email addresses will be accepted.

Enrollment Guidelines

Terminal masters students and doctoral students not enrolled in the participating schools/divisions are not eligible. Only courses offered and conducted during either the fall or spring term may be applied for, and each institution may give preference to its own students when enrollment is limited. Once all necessary approvals have been obtained, students will register for courses at both their home institution and the host institution. Please note that tuition and fees are paid to the home institution, but students will be responsible to their host institutions for any lab fees if applicable.

Each student participating in the Consortium will be entitled to graduate student library privileges at the host institution during the semester such student is registered (consortium students may not be entitled to any of the other benefits and privileges of being a student at the host institution.) Each student participating in the Consortium shall abide by all policies and regulations of the host institution. The host institution shall have the right to terminate the participation of any student in the Consortium, and in any other program, service, or benefit of the host institution, at any time if such student's academic work or behavior is not suitable or if such student violates any policies of the host institution or applicable laws or regulations.
