Ellen,
Yes, there is still time to apply for our PhD program for fall 2004. Please contact Professor Hans Baumgartner, our PhD coordinator for further information. The admission process for our PhD program is very competitive. If you are admitted, for the first two years, you will be taking PhD courses. During that time, you will be assigned as Research Assistant to several different professors, but the department will make every effort to match you up with a faculty member who shares your research interest., Once you complete all the requirements (Comprehensive exam, Candidacy), then you can choose to work with any faculty member, including me, by mutual agreement.
Hope this answers your question.
Best,
.Arvind Rangaswamy
