Graduate Admissions

Available degrees
- Ph.D. in Computer Science: This is a research degree that culminates in a unique dissertation that demonstrates original and creative research.
- M.S. in Computer Science: The department offers three types of M.S. degrees: (i) Plan A with a research thesis, (ii) Plan B with an independent project, and (iii) Plan C that only requires coursework-based projects.
- Non-degree study in Computer Science: The department offers this option for US citizens and residents who lack a background in Computer Science.
We guarantee funding to all of our Computer Science Ph.D. students from day one. Students will continue to have funding throughout their doctoral experience, as long as they remain in good academic standing and successfully perform the duties of their assistantships. Students with funding typically have their tuition and almost all of their health insurance costs covered. They also receive a stipend paid to them to help cover their living expenses. Students are also eligible for summer support. Most CS graduate students, including masters, are eligible for financial support, including teaching assistantships (TA), research assistantships (RA), and graduate fellowships.
