All Ph.D. students are expected to participate in departmental and laboratory activity full-time on-campus throughout the program, except possibly for summer jobs elsewhere. Therefore, the department does not normally consider admission of part-time students. Furthermore, it does not permit students to participate in the Ph.D. program through the Columbia Video Network.
