Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science and Engineering

The Computer Science and Engineering doctoral program has excellent research and teaching facilities including research laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment in the areas of computer science, software systems, artificial intelligence, neural networks, and more. Every graduate laboratory has a mix of computers running the latest versions of Solaris, Linux, or Windows.There are five possible research groups.The Data and Knowledge Management group studies the storage, retrieval, and mining of data in databases.The Experimental Computer Systems group studies computer systems perspective, including operation systems, compilers, computer architecture, networking, and wireless communications.The Intelligent Systems group focuses on designing and analyzing an intelligent algorithm or system using any of the theoretical formalisms.The Internet Computing and Information Science group examines technologies for computing and communication across Internet or any other networked system, and the Quantum Computing group studies the growing field of Quantum Computing.

For our graduate programs, we welcome applications from students who hold a baccalaureate degree (or higher) with a GPA of 3.0+ from a college or university regarded as standard by a regional or general accrediting agency, and have at least a B average in undergraduate course work (or otherwise give evidence of promise that is judged satisfactory by the admitting program and the Graduate School).Standardized Tests of
