The Department of Computer Science offers a program of study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy in computer science.

Information and program requirements for all graduate degrees can be found in the Graduate Student Manual (GSM). This is a good starting point for anyone looking for a graduate program in the Computer Science Department. The GSM was recently updated, and students starting in 2020 will follow the new requirements. Current students have the option of following either the earlier or the new requirements.

Possible areas of interest are detailed on our Research Page.

The doctoral program is available to students who have compiled outstanding academic records in completing requirements for a Bachelor of Science or a Master of Science degree in computer science. Students with degrees in related disciplines may be admitted after demonstrating strong capabilities to do graduate work in computer science.

Once the Department receives a complete application, the admissions committee reviews the application and promptly notifies the applicant of their decision.

Students may be admitted for fall or spring semesters.

For more information, prospective students can email CompSci_GradProspective@colostate.edu. Current students should contact their faculty advisor.
