Overview

The Computer Science PhD degree from Mississippi State University program highlights:

A student who wishes to study Graduate Computer Science must have the ability to develop and analyze software for their study. Understanding the interface between computer hardware and software is also required, as is some mathematical fluency.

Students must demonstrate their potential for success in the program via strong previous academic work and demonstrated English proficiency as appropriate.

Online PhD students must identify a research topic and identify a major professor; these must be identified in their statement of purpose (a limited list of topics and professors is allowed).

Finally, a student must possess those qualifications and research interests that indicate to the Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Studies Committee that the applicant will be successful in the computer science doctoral program.
