Applying to the PhD Program
Thank you for your interest in our PhD program. If you haven't already, we suggest you first acquaint yourself with our PhD program (and compare it to our master's program) to determine that it's appropriate for your needs.
Please read our FAQ. It answers many of the questions you probably have.
Application Requirements
We expect strong resuls from our applicants in the following:
Again, we urge you to read our FAQ.
- GRE General Exam
- GRE Subject (Computer Science) Exam (recommended but not required)
- Record of grades or other academic performance
- Letters of reference (NOTE: you might suggest to your letter writers that they look at http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Memos/Grad-School-Recos/".)
- TOEFL or IELTS (for applicants whose native language is not English)
Applying
The strict deadline for the receipt of complete applications (including test scores and letters of recommendation) for entry in September is January 2. (We do not accept PhD applications to start at other times of the year.)
You can complete the entire application on-line and we prefer you use this medium. If, however, you cannot apply on-line, you can request a paper application form.
You can get additional information from our FAQ and from the Graduate School's Web site.
Graduate applications to Brown are handled by a combination of the department and the Graduate School. Your application is formally processed by the Graduate School. Its content is then read by members of the department, who then forward their recommendations to the Graduate School. The Graduate School formally admits you to the program. Therefore, you may receive correspondence from either of these entities.
