The Doctor of Philosophy in computer science and informatics prepares students for research and development careers across industrial, governmental, and academic sectors. Upon admission, doctoral candidates choose between two specialization tracks: 1) computer science or 2) software and information technology. The computer science track focuses on developing researchers in core computer science disciplines, typically requiring applicants to possess an undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or a related field.
The software and information technology track equips doctoral students to pursue research in applied computing, computational sciences, and potentially interdisciplinary domains.

Applicant has worked in the USA for at least two years in the engineering profession.
To request a waiver, applicants must submit a Request to Waive GRE form to the Graduate School as part of the application packet. The request for waiver is subject to the approval of the Graduate Admissions Committee.
Admission to Ph.D. program is selective, applicants should have an M.S. degree GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale or better for regular admission.
If the applicant's M.S. GPA is between 3.0 and 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, and the percentile score of the GRE Quantitative Reasoning section is 70% or better, admission with limited standing may be offered.
Applicants from institutions with which Oakland University has an articulation agreement containing alternative admission criteria will be admitted according to the criteria in that agreement.
