What will I learn?

The Ph.D. program in Computer Science is for students interested in obtaining academic or research positions in colleges and universities or in government or commercial research laboratories. The program gives students a rigorous and thorough knowledge of a broad range of theoretical and practical research subject areas and develops the ability to recognize and pursue significant research in computer science. The first two years of graduate study are devoted to coursework. By the end of the second year the research phase of the student’s graduate career should be underway, with participation in advanced study and preliminary research work. The final years of graduate study are devoted to dissertation research. The primary areas of departmental research interests include, among others, theoretical computer science, algorithms, logic, concurrency, model checking, databases, languages, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics, visualization, cyber-security, operating systems, networking, and computer architecture.

Entry requirements

For international students

Admission to the MS and PhD programs are handled separately by the departmental admissions committee. The requirements for admission to graduate study in Computer Science include: A.Bachelors Degree: A bachelors degree, usually in a science or engineering discipline or in mathematics, is required. The transcript should show a grade average of at least B (3.0/4.0) in all undergraduate coursework, and in science, mathematics, and engineering courses. Include degree conferral certificates for all completed degrees. B. Computer Science Background: For M.S. in Computer Science, we prefer students with CS or related degrees. Applicants with exceptional promise who lack CS preparation in one or more core areas may be admitted to the program, but will be required to take additional CS courses as specified in their offer letter. For Ph.D. in Computer Science, we mainly consider an applicants potential for first-class research, and expect the applicants to have sufficient academic preparation and strength to succeed in Ph.D. qualifiers C. GRE Examination: All international applicants to the M.S. program must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. GRE is optional for all Ph.D. applicants and domestic M.S. applicants

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
