Curriculum
The computer science program consists of 24 credit hours of 400/500-level courses and 24 credit hours of CS 600 Dissertation Research, all of which are subject to the following constraints:
- Two one-credit seminar courses
- Six credit hours from approved computer science 400/500-level courses
- Six elective credit hours of CS 500-level courses
- Six credit hours of 400/500-level courses from approved academic departments other than computer science
The student will work with the Dissertation Committee to supervise the remaining doctoral work. This committee will consist of five graduate faculty members, one or two of whom will be from a graduate program outside the department. The student’s dissertation advisor will serve as the Chair of this committee.
The minimum course requirements are listed in the SIUC Graduate Catalog as well as on the computer science website.
