Overview

Key facts

The selected courses will provide for both breadth and depth of computing knowledge. To ensure breadth of knowledge, students must complete one course from each area.
The Applied Computing PhD program is offered at Georgia Southern University.

To ensure depth of knowledge, the remaining three courses must be taken in a single area. As a result, the PhD student would take four courses from one area and one course from each of the other two areas.

Appropriate courses outside of the pre-approved list can only be taken with the approval of the department chair upon recommendation by the research advisor.
