Curriculum: CS&E Doctoral Program

For the Ph.D. with a specialization in computational science and engineering, the requirements are the same as for the regular doctoral program except that:

  • The plan of study must:

    • include four CS&E core courses other than CS 501.

    • include four courses in a single application area outside Computer Sciences. Appropriate CS&E core courses may be used to fulfill application area requirements.

    • include five of CS 502, 503, 514, 520, 565, 580, and 584 with

      • at least two of CS 502, 503, and 565;

      • at least one of CS 514 and 520; and

      • at least one of CS 580 and CS 584.

    • CS 514 and 520 may also be used toward the CS&E core requirements.

    • list at least one half of the course credits  in Computer Sciences. CS 501 may not be used.

    • reflect a GPA of at least 3.25. Grades must be A or B.

    • be approved by the CS&E graduate committee (as well as by the Computer Sciences graduate committee and the student's advisory committee).

     

  • Part 2 of the qualifying examination will contain a component, determined by the Computer Sciences and CS&E graduate committees, covering the application area.

     

  • The thesis is done under CS 699.
