Outstanding students with a bachelor’s degree are encouraged to apply directly into the doctoral program. Admission to the Ph.D. program is formalized by the university upon the recommendation of the Computer Science Graduate Committee.
In addition to the general admission requirements, applicants to this program must:
Submit a resume, goals statement, and three letters of recommendation.
Provide official competitive scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), which must have been taken within the last five years
Typically have a combined verbal and quantitative score of 1250 on the GRE and a GPA of 3.25 or greater
For applicants from countries where English is not the official language, or for an applicant whose bachelor’s degree is not from an accredited U.S. institution, an official score of at least 220 (computer-based test; or equivalent score on the paper-based test) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required.
An undergraduate degree in Computer Science is desirable but not required. Applicants without a strong undergraduate background in Computer Science must demonstrate an understanding of the material covered in the following upper-division undergraduate courses:
CDA 4150 Computer Architecture
COP 4020 Programming Languages I
COP 4600 Operating Systems
COT 4210 Discrete Computational Structures
The student may choose to demonstrate his/her knowledge of these courses by scoring well on the Subject (Advanced) GRE in Computer Science. It is estimated that more than 85 percent of this GRE deals directly with the material covered in these courses.
