The Ph.D. program in Computation, Organization and Society (COS)
prepares students to be tomorrow's leaders in constructing technology
that is responsible to society, business, policy, and law. The program builds
on COS' world-class faculty, drawn from several academic disciplines,
but primarily from computer science. The program is
designed to:
- provide students with a unique multi-disciplinary curriculum,
rooted heavily in computer science, and taught
by experts from the variety of disciplines related to COS;
- expose students to the latest computer science based research results in COS; and
- provide practical hands-on experience with computer science problems related
to emerging technologies and their associated social, political, legal, business,
and organizational conflicts.
By exposing students to this combination of computer science
interleaved with interdisciplinary coursework,
hands-on applications, and cutting-edge research, we expect our graduates
will be uniquely positioned to pioneer new efforts
in the confluence of computer science and business, law or policy,
and to pursue research
on the next generation of tools, algorithms and systems with provable
guarantees of their appropriateness for a particular business, social,
policy or legal setting.
