该博士课程旨在提供最高水平的数学和计算科学学术研究。目标是培养合格的专业人员，以担任学术界的教学和研究职位，以及行业和政府中的同等职位。对这些专业人员的需求将继续超出当前的产量，并且在可预见的将来，预计仍将如此。授予博士学位的目的是承认数学和计算科学领域的能力以及技术研究能力，这可以通过产生可接受的论文来证明。所需的工作包括为专门研究做准备的高级研究，以及完成原始研究的结果，从而为该领域的知识体系做出重大贡献。
The doctoral program is designed to provide the highest level of academic study and research in computer science, in specializations corresponding to our graduate faculty and including cybersecurity, graphics, AI, evolutionary computation, etc. The degree is one of the options in the Ph.D. in Mathematical and Computational Science program. Our graduates have successfully transitioned to academic, industrial, and government careers.<br>The Ph.D. degree is conferred in recognition of both breath of competence in computer science, and in technical research abilities as evidenced by production of an acceptable dissertation. The required work consists of advanced studies in preparation for specialized research, and in the completion of original research resulting in a significant contribution to the body of knowledge in the area.<br>The entire program can be completed full time or part time, will all necessary coursework available in the evening in rotation.Moreover, many courses are available online or in hybrid mode requiring only one visit to class per week.<br>When planning advancement towards the Ph.D. degree, one should not neglect the fact that independent research for the actual dissertation requires large amounts of time to be devoted by the candidate. A thoughtful planning of outside obligations, especially for the period of dissertation research, should therefore be carefully performed. Special dissertation fellowships can help to compensate for financial responsibilities.
