Course Requirements
The Ph.D. program requires a minimum of 48 semester hours of courses after the Bachelor's degree. At least 24 of the semester hours, exclusive of dissertation, must be completed at one of the three New Mexico universities. At least 30 semester hours, exclusive of dissertation, must be in courses numbered 500 or above. Of these hours, at most 12 may come from individual study courses (at The University of New Mexico, CS 551 and CS 650). If the student enters the program with a master’s degree, the requirement is reduced to 18 hours in courses numbered 500 and above—at most 9 of these hours may come from individual study courses.
Exactly 4 credit hours (2 post-Master's) of CS 592 (Colloquium) must be part of the total semester hours. Further requirements are set by the student's Committee on Studies. The student must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0 for all graduate work. Moreover, a grade of B or better must be received in all courses counted towards completion of the program.
