A student pursuing the Ph.D. degree is expected to exhibit a comprehensive knowledge of a broad cross section of the computer science discipline and to contribute significant new knowledge to the discipline through the research contribution contained in the doctoral dissertation. A PhD student must complete a minimum of 90 credits of graduate study, of which at least 27 must derive from courses. The PhD program is intended to be completed in about five years from entering the graduate program with a BS degree in Computer Science or a related field, or about four years if the student already has an MS degree in Computer Science or a related field. To encourage Ph.D. graduates to exhibit sufficient breadth of computer science and its application areas, Ph.D. students must take CS courses spanning four (4) computer science different areas and one to three cognate (i.e., outside CS) courses. At least two advanced CS graduate courses must be included on the plan of study.
