Each student must give a talk on a research project that they are working on at the end of their first year, and another at the end of their second year. First- and second-year students must also write a research report each year. Each report is to be formatted in a manner consistent with submission for academic publication.
Residency
Students must complete at least six semesters of full-time academic residence at UC Merced. In addition, before advancing to candidacy, Ph.D. students must be registered in University courses as a full-time student for at least four semesters.
Teaching
CIS requires all graduate students pursuing the Ph.D. to acquire teaching experience at the post-secondary level under faculty supervision, for at least two semesters at UC Merced. This requirement is typically satisfied by appointment as a Teaching Assistant or Teaching Fellow in undergraduate courses.
Presentation
Students must deliver a full-length (usually 45-60 minutes) technical seminar (an oral presentation on the student’s original research) at least once while in residence at UCM. This can be fulfilled by offering a presentation at the weekly CIS Brownbag meeting, however the seminar may be given in any scholarly public venue that is approved by the student’s advisory committee (prior to the time the talk is given). At least one CIS faculty member must be present at the seminar.
Graduates of the Ph.D. program in CIS are expected to possess a broad understanding of the full range of theories and methods employed in this interdisciplinary field. In order to assess the breadth of student knowledge, and in order to encourage an integrated view of the varied contributions that different disciplines make to cognitive and informa...

The oral defense may also include genera...
