This program offers a course of study leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science. It is offered in the cluster format, which combines traditional and online instruction to give professionals the opportunity to pursue graduate study while continuing to work in their current positions. The program is especially well suited to those in industry, education or government who are involved with one of the many areas of computer science. It provides research-oriented professionals with knowledge in the major areas of computer science and the ability to develop creative solutions to substantive real-world problems. Each student must complete eight courses, four projects, and a dissertation.

This program is offered in the cluster format. While taking courses, students attend four cluster meetings per year, held over an extended weekend (Friday, Saturday and half-day Sunday) at the university. Cluster terms start in March and September. Cluster weekends are held in March, June, September and December. They bring together students, faculty and staff members for participation in courses, dissertation counseling (individual and group), special lectures and ample opportunity for student-faculty and student-student interaction. Students must attend all of their scheduled cluster class sessions.

Between on-campus meetings, students work on assignments and projects and participate in online activities that facilitate frequent interaction with the faculty and with other students. The online component involves use of the Web to access course materials, announcements, email, distance library services, the electronic library and other information and the use of WebCT as a course management system. Online activities facilitate frequent student-to-faculty and student-to-student interaction. They are supported by threaded discussion boards, white boards, chat rooms and email. In addition, WebCT enables students to submit assignments online in multimedia formats and to receive their professors' reviews of assignments online in the same formats. Students are provided NSU computer accounts but must obtain their own Internet service providers and use their own computer systems.
