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.
