Beginning in Spring 2025, all PhD students are required to have one accepted paper in the approved list of venues prior to taking their preliminary exam, and must have two first‑author accepted papers—at least one of which must be published in a journal—before they may schedule their PhD defense. Questions, please contact the EECS Graduate Coordinator or GSC Chair.
