Explanation of recent updates to the Ph.D. Program pages
October 6, 2008
- The information about the degree requirements has been split across multiple pages to highlight the later phases of the program (candidacy exams and dissertations).
- The only substantive change to the requirements concerns the language requirement. As of Spring 2008, only students in the areas of theory and computational math are required to fulfill the language requirement. In addition, the language requirement is now administered as part of the candidacy exam process. There is no longer a separate form for the candidacy exam. See foreign language exam for details.
August 24, 2004
- Students are encouraged to graduate in five years; departmental stipends end after the sixth year.
Since 2005, all updates to the Ph.D. program pages have been made or supervised by Anne Rogers, Director of Graduate Studies. Please report errors and suggestions to amr@cs.uchicago.edu.
