The program at Stanford University is reviewed as an example. The appendix includes syllabi of Ph.D. qualifying examinations for Stanford's Computer Science Department. This is a revision of a previous Stanford Computer Science Department report, CS 26. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19960119] END:: STAN//CS-TR-66-39
