                   DOCTORAL PROGRAM IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
                    UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO


The Division of Computer Science offers programs of study leading to the
Ph.D.  and M.S.  degrees in Computer Science.  The program emphasizes areas
of high performance computing including networks, architecture, parallel
and distributed processing, visualization, image processing, compilers,
software interfaces, neural networks, artificial intelligence, and systems.


Application:
------------
Admission is very competitive.  To ensure full consideration, students are
encouraged to submit their applications along with all supporting
documentation by July 7, 1995 for acceptance for the Fall 1995 semester.
Application forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and
Registrar.  A complete application includes the application form,
transcripts, three letters of recommendation, GRE General Test and Computer
Science Subject Exam scores, a resume, a statement of research experience
and interest, and the TOEFL score for those applicants whose native
language is not English.  In rare circumstances, students may be considered
for admission without subject GRE scores, but they must take the
examination to qualify for unconditional admission.


Cost of Study and Financial Aid:
--------------------------------
In the 1994-95 academic year, tuition and fees for a full time graduate
student (9 semester hours) were $822 per semester for Texas residents and
$1938 per semester for nonresidents.  Most doctoral students are supported
by a stipend of approximately $12,000 for twelve months.  In addition to
this stipend, all tuition and fees are paid.  A limited number of teaching
assistantships are available.
