Requirements for the PhD degree are set by the student's doctoral committee in conformance with the current rules of the Graduate College. A qualifying examination is required of all students.

In addition, every student is required to take a general examination in his/her major field of study and the related areas. The intent of the examination is to determine whether the student is qualified to undertake a doctoral research program, and further, to reveal deficiencies that may exist in his/her academic preparation for the doctoral program.

Specific questions concerning the programs or admission requirements may be addressed to Graduate Liaison, School of Computer Science, 200 Felgar St., Room 120, Norman, OK 73019-6151. Inquiries concerning graduate applications should be directed to Chyrl Yerdon at 405-325-2055 or request more information here.
