The Doctoral program in Computer Science and Informatics at Oakland University is designed to prepare students for leadership careers in research and education in computer science and interdisciplinary work using computer science. The doctoral admits students both for part-time and full-time study. The entire program must be completed in seven Calendar years regardless of whether the student is full-time or part-time.

The department offers two streams of specialization within the Computer Science and Informatics program.
• Computer Science
• Software and Information Technology

The Computer Science stream is designed for students intending to pursue research in the core areas of computer science with a theoretical focus. TheSoftware and Information Technology stream is designed for students intending to pursue research in the applied areas of interdisciplinary computing and information technology.



Research Activities and Research Facilities
The department has 18 faculty members participating in departmental research groups in the following areas: artificial intelligence,web service and cloud computing, DSP and embedded system, bioinformatics and biomedical image processing, data and knowledge management, programming language, image and video analysis, indexing and retrieval, mobile computing, networksand information security, and software engineering. Each group involves undergraduate and graduate students in its research efforts.

The department endeavors to provide a working environment fostering excellence in research, with a particular view towards expertise in problem areas requiring a multi-disciplinary approach including computer science. Research opportunities for computer science students also exist in some of the multi-departmental research areas that include computer science faculty such as bioinformatics, healthcare information system, web-based application, networking and information assurance, and computer-aided engineering and manufacturing design.

The department’s research labs, located within the buildings of the School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS), are fully equipped with computers and special-purpose instrumentation. The research support infrastructure includes a departmental and school wide system administration staff and high-speed access to Internet. Oakland University provides wireless networking covering its entire campus. The department’s research groups are further described the department’s research web pages.
