Overview
The Doctor of Philosophy program in Informatics from The University of Iowa requires a minimum of 72 s.h. of graduate credit. It is offered in four subprograms: bioinformatics and computational biology, geoinformatics, health informatics, and information science.
Key Features
- The 72 s.h. required for the Ph.D. includes foundations of informatics coursework and at least 9 s.h. in disciplinary applications of informatics. Other course requirements are outlined in the curriculum specific to each subprogram.
- Students select an advisor from their subprogram's affiliated faculty members. In consultation with their advisors, students prepare a study plan, which is reviewed by their mentors and curricular advisory committees at least once a year.
Programme Structure
- Ph.D. students must pass a comprehensive examination at or near completion of their coursework requirements. The exam may be written, oral, or both, depending on the structure of the student's subprogram or the decision of the student's committee.
- A student who does not already hold an M.S. in informatics from the University of Iowa and who has passed the Ph.D. comprehensive examination may be granted an M.S. degree in informatics without taking the final master's degree exam in the health informatics, geoinformatics, or information science subprogram, upon recommendation of the Informatics Program.
