Entry requirements

A bachelor's degree in computer science (CS) is expected but applicants who have majored in another field and minored in CS will be fully considered. Applicants must have a proven record of excellence as an undergraduate grader/TA in a computer science course. Experience as an undergraduate researcher is highly recommended.; A complete application consists of (a) transcripts of all college-level work, (b) three letters of recommendation including at least one that addresses expository skills and the ability to work in a classroom setting, and (c) an essay that explains how the degree program and the anticipated thesis area resonates with career plans. Application deadline: Fall, January 18

Graduate fields set their own fall and spring admission deadlines; some fields (for example Communication PhD) admit for fall only.

Graduate School applications are submitted online through the Graduate School application; the application fee is $105 (non-refundable, waivers available). Each graduate field sets its own fall and spring deadlines, and many fall between early December and mid-January.
