Information for M.S. and Ph.D. Students

The following summarizes the formal requirements and procedures of the M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Other pertinent information can be obtained from the bulletin of the Graduate School of the University of Utah.

Many aspects apply to both the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in Computer Science. These will be summarized first, followed by a description of requirements specific to each degree program.

Please see the Graduate Coordinator (currently, Colleen Hoopes) for additional material regarding administrative guidelines, procedures, and help. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate processing the various forms; however, the department and the graduate school will try to help you in any way possible.

Students are required to meet minimum grade and GPA requirements for their graduate classes. The CS graduate program includes five required classes for MS and ten for PhD students. Students are required to earn a grade of B or better in each required class and to maintain an overall GPA of at least 3.5. For the complete class requirement (required classes plus additional elective classes) students are required to earn a grade of B- in each class and to maintain an overall GPA of at least 3.0. University of Utah classes must have a course number of 5000 or higher to be considered for graduate credit.
