My CS Ph.D.

MyCSPhd.org collects information about the why and how of getting a Ph.D. in computer science and closely related disciplines.

It was created by professors who advise Ph.D. students and current Ph.D. students. The information should be useful to anyone contemplating a Ph.D. at a university in the United States or Canada. It is a free service of the Computer Science Department at the University of California in San Diego, and it does not promote any particular school.

Our hope is that this information will be useful in deciding whether a Ph.D. is right for you and in guiding you through the application process.
