Doctor of Philosophy with a Major in Computer Science.
You would not have to formally reapply through the Georgia Tech Office of Graduate Studies but you must submit an application to the CSE Graduate Office seeking to be “converted” to Ph.D. status. This informal application, however, will be scrutinized just as if you are a new Ph.D. applicant. We encourage students interested in transferring to consult with the their home unit coordinator.
Below are links to several pieces of information that may be helpful to current CSE graduate students: CSE Graduate Student Handbook; CSE Program Forms.
