Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science (Ph.D.)

Program Overview

The doctoral degree in Computer Science is based on coursework as well as research that leads to a dissertation. It is recommended that students interested in the doctoral degree contact the faculty whose interests best fit his/her interest.

Areas of research focus center around these topics : computer security and information assurance, software engineering and systems, bioinformatics and biomedical computing, networking and mobile computing, pervasive computing and embedded systems, machine intelligence, robotics, and algorithms and theory.
