Doctoral Degree Program

The Ph.D. Program provides computer science research opportunities for individuals who have a career goal of:

  • A college or university faculty member

  • Multidisciplinary research

  • A career in industry as a leader in computer technology

  • Biomedical computing research

The Ph.D. program usually requires a minimum of four years of study and research beyond the bachelor's degree. Students interested in the Ph.D., and with a sufficient computer science background, may apply to the Ph.D. program directly after the B.S.

For accepted students, more detailed information is available about the first phase of study, culminating in the [[Ph.D. Level I Qualifying Exam]]. Students taking this exam should review the [[Reading List for Qualifying Exam]].
