About the course

The objective of the Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Human-Centered Computing (HCC) degree program is to prepare our graduates for advanced research positions in industry and the academy. The program is designed for students who offer evidence of exceptional scholastic ability, intellectual creativity, and research motivation. The HCC Ph.D. degree is viewed as a certification by the faculty that the student has a solid foundation in Human-Centered Computing and has performed original research in the area. The basis for gaining the degree will be the student's grasp of computing, people, research methods and a cognate or specialty area. The graduates will have extended the frontier of knowledge in at least one area of computing as it relates to a human condition or concern by way of innovative research. The students will demonstrate the ability to express ideas adequately and professionally in oral and written language. The doctoral program usually requires two to four years beyond the M.S. degree and emphasizes research. We encourage prospective candidates to involve themselves in research under the supervision of a faculty member at the earliest possible opportunity. In addition to research activities in various areas of computing and people, there are many opportunities for interdisciplinary and interdepartmental research.
