TOEFL/IELTS scores
Applications are evaluated in their entirety. A weakness in one factor might
be mitigated by strength in another.
Background in Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science does not require that applicants hold a
bachelor's degree in Computer Science. However, applicants are expected to have
a strong background in Computer Science.
A suitable background would include courses in the following core areas:
Data Structures
Discrete Mathematics
Assembly Language and Computer Organization
Programming in a procedural language such as C, C#, C++, or Java.
Applicants are also expected to have taken several (but not necessarily all)
courses in specialized areas:
Operating Systems
Programming Languages
Algorithms
Compilers
Artificial Intelligence
Computer Networks
Automata and Formal Languages
Software Engineering
A year of college-level Calculus is also required. In general, experience
gained working is not considered equivalent to successful completion of the
courses listed above.
Grade Point Average
There is no minimum GPA required for admission. However, most applicants who
are offered admission to our program have a GPA of at least 3.3 (out of 4.0). The grades in Computer Science, mathematics and related courses are more
important than the overall GPA.
GRE Scores
GRE scores are required. The CS subject test GRE is not required (it is no
longer even offered).
GRE Scores Taken on or after August 1, 2011 - Average Scores of Admitted
Applicants
Verbal156 on a scale of 130 - 170
Quantitative160 on a scale of 130 - 170
Analytical Writing3.5 on a scale of 0 - 6
Letters of Reference
If possible, letters of references should be written by faculty at a
university previously attended. Letters of reference from Computer Science
faculty are preferred, but references from employers are welcome. References
should pay particular attention to academic achievements and evidence of
independent, creative problem solving.
TOEFL/IELTS Scores
If you are a permanent resident of the U.S., TOEFL is not required
If you received a 4-year degree at an English-speaking institution (whether
or not the institution is in the U.S.), TOEFL/IELTS is not required.
If you received a 4-year degree at a non-English-speaking institution and a
Master's degree from an English-speaking institution, TOEFL/IELTS is
required.
Note that if you have a solid command of written and spoken English,
TOEFL/IELTS waivers are possible! SEND EMAIL TO THE UVA SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
GRADUATE ADMISSIONS COORDINATOR IVA GILLET explaining why you believe
TOEFL/IELTS can be waived (include evidence such as verification of duties as a
Teaching Assistant that required significant interactions in English, copies of
expired TOEFL/IELTS scores, presentations at conferences in English, etc.).
A score of at least 90 on the TOEFL iBT is preferred. It is rare that we
offer admission to an applicant who scored less than 22 on the Speaking section
of TOEFL. Similar statements can be made regarding IELTS. Scores can be sent
electronically to UVa at institution code B875. Some students with lower scores
may be required to complete the UVA SUMMER ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES PROGRAM
prior to admission.
Financial Aid
The financial aid package includes tuition, fees, health insurance and a
competitive stipend. PhD students are typically admitted with full support in
the form of fellowship or Teaching Assistant (TA) positions in their first year,
with the expectation that they will join a research group by the end of their
first year and then be supported as a Research Assistant (RA). This model gives
incoming students the opportunity to explore the best match in terms of research
area and advisor.
