Doctoral Program Transition Guide
This guide documents policies and exemptions that apply to Ph.D. and D.Sc. students who entered the CS or CoE program prior to the institution of some of the current program requirements.
Exemptions from New Doctoral Requirements
With rare exceptions, students joining a CSE doctoral program are subject to the graduation requirements in place at the time that they join. When new requirements are imposed, students who are already in the program are exempt unless otherwise stated. In particular,
- Students who entered our doctoral programs prior to fall 2004 and wish to obtain a Ph.D. degree are exempt from its teaching requirements. These students need not fill out the Teaching Requirement Form, only the Title, Scope, and Procedure Form.
- Students who entered our doctoral programs prior to fall 2005 and wish to obtain a D.Sc. degree may use the old-style procedure for the oral qualifying exam. In particular,
- The oral qualifier may be deferred until after the portfolio review (but before the dissertation proposal).
- The adviser may be present at the exam.
Use of the old rules is at the student's and adviser's discretion.
In all cases, the controlling date for exemptions is when a student joined the CSE doctoral program, not when she first enrolled at Washington University. In particular, master's students who switch to doctoral status are subject to the policies in place at the time that they switched.
