Fully Funded PhD in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University
We are proud of the quality of PhD students we attract and the training they receive. All of our students receive support, including an annual stipend, in the form of external and internal competitive fellowships, research fellowships, or teaching fellowships.
As a PhD candidate, you will share in the excitement of discovery as you collaborate with our faculty on cutting edge research. You also will acquire strong, independent research skills and begin to develop your own skills and reputation as a member of the research community.
Because the advisor/graduate relationship is the cornerstone of a successful PhD experience, all new PhD candidates are carefully matched with faculty advisors based on mutual research interests. In addition, an active PhD Committee of three is created for each PhD student to give cogent advice throughout your degree program.
