Application is made to the Missouri S and T admissions office along with the required transcripts, etc.

Applicants who do not have a graduate degree will normally request admission to the M.S. program first. Applicants must submit a letter outlining tentative research interests and career goals along with GRE verbal, quantitative and analytical writing test scores.

Admission into the Ph.D. program in Computer Science is granted by majority vote of the Computer Science Graduate Faculty, demonstration of supervisory interest by a faculty member, and approval of the Vice Provost of Graduate Studies.

A student with only a B.S. interested in Ph.D. study may be admitted, at the discretion of the faculty, directly into the Ph.D. program. The student will be expected to meet all requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D. programs.

Examination schedules for the Ph.D. program will apply. Thus, the student must pass the Ph.D. academic programs/qualifier within the three semesters of admission, and continue to follow all Ph.D. timelines. All M.S. minimums must apply for admission and a faculty member must demonstrate interest in admitting the candidate to the Ph.D. program.
