  abstract =     "This document provides a model of the Ph.D. program in
                 Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon University. The
                 Ph.D. is viewed as a certification by the faculty that
                 the student has a broad foundation in Computer Science
                 and has performed original research in the area. Every
                 incoming student is assigned advisors who are charged
                 with guiding him and certifying his education. To
                 qualify for a degree, a student is required to pass a
                 set of qualifying examinations and to write and defend
                 a thesis.To help students fulfill these requirements,
                 the Department provides educational opportunities
                 consisting of:- The Immigration Course, an intensive
                 six week program intended to provide a common
                 foundation for students with diverse backgrounds.- A
                 set of Core courses, covering a core body of knowledge
                 in computer science which all computer scientists
                 should know.- An area specialization, requiring a
                 deeper study in a particular subarea of computer
                 science.- Participation in directed research, providing
                 experience in a research environment before starting
                 the major piece of research which will be his thesis.-
                 The environment to do a major piece of original work
                 leading to a thesis.There are no required courses;
                 competence may be acquired through either courses or
                 independent study. There is a teaching requirement
                 intended to develop communication skills.There are no
                 formal grades. However, on a semi-annual basis the
                 entire faculty evaluates each student's progress along
                 several dimensions --- courses, core qualifier, area
                 qualifier, directed research, teaching, thesis, etc.
                 Support and/or permission to continue in the department
                 depends on adequate performance along these dimensions.
                 Thus, while a student is free to shape his educational
                 program to suit his needs, he must continue to
                 demonstrate satisfactory progress in at least some of
                 the above dimensions.",
