--Each nonthesis master's student is required to pass a
comprehensive examination.
The Digital Arts and Sciences project in lieu of thesis option requires
6 credit hours of project/performance credits.
To be admitted to the Engineer degree program, students must
have completed a master's degree in engineering. To earn the
degree of engineer, a student must obtain at least a 3.0 GPA in at
least 30 graduate credit hours beyond the master's degree, within 5
calendar years of enrollment. These credit hours may include CIS
6972, Research for Engineer's Thesis. Both thesis and nonthesis
options exist for the Engineer degree. Note that credits counted
toward the degree are not credited toward any other degree
(including the Ph.D. if a Ph.D. is then pursued).
To demonstrate breadth and proficiency, all Ph.D. students must
take 4 required core courses obtaining a 3.4 GPA in 3 of the 4
required core courses, with no more than one of the core courses
receiving a letter grade below B, to be eligible to take the Ph.D.
qualifying examinations.
Ph.D. students are required to take a minimum of 90 credit hours.
Of these, at least 36 hours must be graduate-level CISE course
work excluding individual study and research credits. A minimum
of 3 hours must be taken in CIS 7980. A maximum of 30 credits
may be awarded toward the Ph.D. degree from an appropriate
master's degree.
The Database Systems Research and Development Center, the
Software Engineering Research Center, the Center for Computer
Vision and Visualization Center, and a number of other campus
research centers provide opportunities for students enrolled in the
program.
The department offers a combined bachelor's/master's degree
program. Contact the Department's Student Services Center for
