Overview

Computer scientists are the creative minds behind the design of computer hardware and software programs. Computer scientists develop the hardware and applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or another device. They also develop the underlying systems that run the devices or that control networks.

A Program for Professionals, Taught by Professionals

The PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Fairfax is a research-oriented degree designed to add and contribute knowledge in computer science and engineering. The courses and correlative course outcomes in the core of this program are designed with a high degree of measurement. Several core courses require organization, quantitative and qualitative analyses, data syntheses, and results in dissemination.

The University of Fairfax has a long-established track record in offering distance-oriented Doctoral programs, and most of the faculty in this program possess a PhD from distance programs. They can thus provide the first-hand experience to this program.

Program Format

The sequential part of the PhD program (accommodating the qualifying / comprehensive exam, development of the dissertation concept paper, feasibility paper, and more) is divided into five phases, most of which have steps within each phase. These steps continue to measure attainment of research skills as the student slowly and methodically progresses through a lengthy series of “gates” and ultimately to the final defense.
