Doctor of Philosophy in Computer and Information Sciences - Information Systems

DePaul University

The PhD in Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) offers an opportunity for exceptional students to pursue substantial research in the computer sciences and related areas. To earn a PhD degree, a student must demonstrate breadth of knowledge in at least two research areas and significant depth in a chosen dissertation area. In addition, the student must conceive, write, and defend a PhD dissertation representing a significant and original contribution to current academic research as demonstrated by a public dissertation defense and publication in established peer-reviewed academic conferences and/or journals. The Information Systems track appeals to students who are interested more in areas such as E-commerce, Human Computer Interaction, IT Project Management, and IS Analysis and Design.
