    "PhD" stands for Doctor of Philosophy and is a generic term used in many disciplines, including Computer Science, for doctoral degrees. Some universities used ScD (Doctor of Science) instead.

      Wait a minute, are you saying this dissertation is probably for a CS degree?

        I meant to put PhD after philosophy, not computer science. it's early here and I haven't had enough coffee. I'm fixing that. (Edited since) Edit: Wait. I think I misunderstood you. Are you saying this dissertation was probably for a Comp Sci doctorate?

        Yes, almost certainly for a Comp Sci doctorate.

            I'm glad that got sorted so there won't be any confusion when some university calls to give you an honorary one!

              There are no philosophers in Florida. The alligators ate most of them, and the rest realized that FL is not the place to live if you are practicing philosophy.

                  You receive a Doctorate of Philosophy when presenting new work proving that you can extend science. It is not considered science though when you submit it. It becomes science when it is peer-reviewed and has gone through the other procedures that get it accepted into what is considered the body of science. Until then, your work is considered philosophy.

                    Just remember when dealing with thesis papers: BS => Bull S. MS => More of the Same PhD => Piled Higher and Deeper :)
