Accelerated Bachelor/Master Program (5 years)
Admission requirements Must have completed 75 credits towards BS
degree At least 3.2 GPA (UNR courses) Must have completed Basic Science courses and
at least 30 credits of Engineering Science or Design courses.
Student must select a faculty advisor
13
Ph.D. Program
Complete 72 credits beyond BS degree 48 credits of course work is required 24 dissertation credits Two independent studies are allowed
A maximum of 24 credits from MS program can be transferred (with grades B or better)
At least 30 credits of 700-level courses (18 of them could be from MS program)
3 credits of CS 792 Graduate Seminar
14
Ph.D. Program
Students must show that they have taken at least one course in each of the areas below at the 400 level or above, earning at least a B. Operating Systems Computer Architecture Computer Networks Artificial Intelligence Analysis of Algorithms Software Engineering Theory of Computing
15
Ph.D. Program – Comprehensive Exam
Written Requirement Thorough review of the literature from the student’s
research area. Research proposal (goals, methodology, research plan). Work in progress.
Must enroll in CPE 795 (3 credits)
16
Ph.D. Program – Comprehensive Exam
Oral Requirement Public colloquium covering the written exam. Q&A from the student’s dissertation committee,
covering the written exam.
17
Ph.D. Program
Dissertation committee must be formed within a year of admission to the PhD program.
Committee is responsible for: Program of study Directing the student towards the written and oral requirement of
their comprehensive exam and advancement to candidacy. Direction of student’s research
18
Graduate Program
Other requirements Attend colloquia (more on this shortly) Give presentations of your research within the department and at conferences Help your advisor with paper and proposal writing
Untold expectations Publish well Do good research Be nice and hardworking!
19
Graduate Seminar
CS 792 Graduate Seminar Attending each talk (a defense or a colloquium)
earns a “token” 12 tokens for 1 credit MS students need 1 credit PhD students need 3 credits http://www.cse.unr.edu/~yuksem/teaching/CS-79

RULES
If GPA drops below 3.0, students are either put on probation (for one semester) or dismissed.
Your advisor must approve all your courses
http://www.unr.edu/grad
21
Default Advise
Sample: Take wide variety of courses in the first 2 semesters Take courses from different graduate faculty
Mix theory with programming courses Talk to students about advisors/courses Talk to faculty and colleagues
Picnics Research group meetings
Find a research advisor quickly!!22
Continuous Enrollment
To maintain “good standing”, all graduate students are required to enroll in a minimum of 3 graduate credits each semester till graduation.
9 credits for international students 6 credits for TAs/RAs
23
Leave of Absence
Students in good standing may request a leave of absence for 1-2 semesters
Continuous enrollment is not required during leave of absence.
Should not have any “incomplete” grades. Need to be “reinstated” upon completion of
leave of absence.
24
Time Limitations
PhD degree All course work must be completed within 8 years.
MS degree All course work must be completed within 6 years.
25
Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty is defined as:
Cheating Plagiarism Obtaining grades under false pretenses
Students enrolled at UNR, agree to bide by, and make every effort to meet, the academic and behavioral standards of the university. see http://www.unr.edu/stsv/acdispol.html
26
Assistantships
Teaching Assistantship (TA) Help with teaching and grading Must submit a TA application Most TA openings are in the Fall semester Deadlines: January 15 (Fall), August15 (Spring)
Research Assistantship (RA) Get involved in research Talk to faculty who have research projects and
funding
