PhD in Computing: Scientific Computing
50 hours of graduate coursework is required, composed of at least 24 hours of regular graduate coursework, and at least 14 semester hours of dissertation research. Of the required 24 semester hours of regular courses, up to six hours may be graduate courses outside of CS. Up to 12 hours of coursework taken elsewhere or counted toward previous degrees can be counted toward the 24 hour regular course requirement with the approval of the GSC.
