A Ph.D. is a long and in depth research exploration of one topic. Doctoral programs focus on creating new facts. A PhD is the highest degree that one can get. Because this degree requires strong logical effort and extended study, less than one percent of the population holds a PhD. Getting a doctorate in computer science will help you become a capable and independent researcher who is prepared to follow an academic or scientific career.

Technology has become a need of the hour. It touches every area of human life in 21st century. Having the knowledge of computers enables the researcher to get used to ever changing nature in the field of computer science. The main objective of the program is to develop disciplined computer professionals to find out new areas for innovations and make them independent.

PhD in computer science gives candidates a vast advantage when looking for work at industry research labs. Information research scientists plan new technology and find new uses of existing technology. Earning a PhD in computer science proves student’s skill to operate on an academic level and think independently.

A distance-learning PhD in computer science affords many benefits to students who are busy with work and family. Classes can be completed 24/7, with online faculty support available. Distance-learning students have expanded networking opportunities with other students nationwide. Computer science students may even complete group programming projects online. In distance learning course formats are usually user-friendly, featuring online message boards and Web-based methods of communication.

Here are some of the main benefits of earning a distance education PhD in computer science:

•          Develop presentation and writing skills.
•          Gain expertise in your area of interest.
•          Get a high paying job.

•          Gain an understanding of professional and ethical standards.
•       Achieve academic and financial independence.

Immediately after PhD, there are opportunities for post-doctoral work in US and Europe. While working as a researcher there are opportunities for visiting faculty appointments or visiting researchers in US, Europe, Singapore etc. where a faculty member from India can spend a year or two in overseas universities or research labs.
