The academic curriculum must be structured to offer sufficient depth and resources aligned with the student's specialization, while equipping them for research in their selected field. The study plan is developed by the student in collaboration with their primary and secondary advisors, requiring approval from both their Graduate Committee and the Graduate Coordinator.
The mandatory theory course supplements any individual theory course completed during prior graduate-level studies. If a student has already completed two theory courses at that level, one may be transferred as credit. Pre-approved theory courses identified by faculty members may serve as substitutes for the theory requirement, evaluated on an individual basis.

Qualification Requirements
An entering PhD student with an MS degree should have a 3.50/4.00 grade point average on MS work, while a PhD student entering with only a BS degree (applicable only to Starkville students) is expected to have a 3.50/4.00 on overall undergraduate work. A student with a lower GPA may still be eligible for admission based on outstanding qualifications in other areas. A student must complete the GRE with a competitive score before admission, graduates of Mississippi State University with a 3.50 GPA do not have to take the GRE. International students require a suitable demonstration of English proficiency. Candidates for the PhD degree must have completed all prerequisite courses or their equivalents. Finally, a student must possess those qualifications and research interests that indicate to the Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Studies Committee that the applicant will be successful in the doctoral program. Online students doing research must identify a research area at application time. For additional details, consult the Computer Science Department's Graduate Handbook.
