Ph.D. Journey / Methods Preparation Note
Coursework and methods note grounded in the current plan and documented syllabi.

The current degree plan and documented syllabi make it possible to describe the methodological preparation visible in the program: algorithms, network design, distributed systems, databases, data mining, cybersecurity, risk, privacy, and statistics.
