Computer Science

The first two years of graduate study are devoted to coursework. By the end of the second year the research phase of the student's graduate career should be underway, with participation in advanced study and preliminary research work. The final years of graduate study are devoted to dissertation research. Upon entrance to the programme, each student is assigned an academic advisor. Each graduate student seeks a faculty member to serve as a research or dissertation advisor within the first two semesters in the programme.

All Ph.D. students who have not yet met qualifier requirements and passed their RPEs, or who do not have an advisor, will be reviewed each semester, in periodic Research Assessment Meetings. This review is conducted by the entire faculty, who votes on the future status of each student.

This review is comprehensive, and includes at least the following items (in no particular order):

• Qualifier courses taken and passed with A- or better.
• All other courses taken, grades received, and GPAs.
• Progress in proficiency requirements.
• Performance as Teaching Assistant.
• Research productivity: publications, talks, software, systems, etc.
• Faculty input, especially from advisers.
• Student's own input.
• Cumulative history of the student's progress.
