Graduate Programs
In the computer science department at Dartmouth, graduate students interact closely with world-class researchers in a tight-knit, collegial environment that provides abundant opportunities for both intra- and interdisciplinary research. We actively collaborate with researchers in engineering, business, mathematics, the arts, biology, sociology, and medicine. Our department also boasts small class sizes, award-winning instructors, and a lively departmental spirit. All students have access to state-of-art facilities and opportunities to start research the first year.
The Programs
Our doctoral program is a full-time program: Admitted doctoral students have only the Ph.D. as their degree objective, and they have guaranteed funding for up to five years.
We've recently restructured the M.S. program:
-
Instead of a required thesis, all students will start out in a coursework-only track, and move to a thesis track if it makes sense.
-
We've also streamlined the program to encourage Ph.D. students in other departments to concurrently pursue a COSC M.S. degree – and also to encourage Dartmouth undergraduates to remain for an M.S. degree.
