The Computer Science Department offers a program of study leading to the degree, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). A graduate degree in Computer Science from the University of Idaho prepares a student for a lifetime of discovery. It enables the graduate to advance the state of the art in computing, not merely to keep up with it. The graduate program develops the student's critical thinking, investigatory, and expository skills. The student will learn the foundations of computer science theory and application, and the interaction between the two. By understanding the extent and limitation of current knowledge in computer science, the graduate will learn to understand what issues are important and why. He or she will acquire the methodological skills to resolve important open problems and tackle challenging new ones. The student will learn to present problems and solutions, both orally and in writing.
