  4. Prospective Students

The Ph.D. in CIS is an interdisciplinary program that combines core courses with in-depth concentration coursework in a subfield of computing alongside independent research leading towards the dissertation. We currently offer the following concentrations:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computing Systems
  • Human-Centered Computing
  • Information Technology Project Management

In addition to these concentrations, students can alternatively build a custom major field of study under the direction of our faculty to gain in-depth knowledge of a different subfield of computing.

For a detailed description of the requirements for the Ph.D. in Computing & Information Science and the concentration coursework, see the UNO Graduate Catalog. There you'll find the most up-to-date information about the program.

You can learn even about the major Ph.D. program milestones mentioned in the catalog on the milestones page of our website.
