Dec 24, 2012 at 18:40 comment added user4417 @JeffE Rather than "rigorous", I should've said "the requirements are a lot more traditional" i.e., they don't simply go by your body of work and pay unnecessary weight to the title of the degree. I didn't mean to imply that CS/other departments have less rigorous requirements :)

Dec 24, 2012 at 18:35 comment added user4417 @JeffE In most places, CS as a department was established only in the 80s and later, and a good number of the older folks in CS probably have degrees in EE or Math (perhaps Physics). Besides, these areas have a decent overlap with CS (depending on the sub-specialization). However, for older disciplines such as ME/ChemE/EE, the requirements are a lot more rigorous. For instance, I know someone who did his Bachelors in ChemE., Masters in BioEng., and finally, a Doctorate in EE! Don't ask me how that happened, but it did, and he sometimes suppresses the Chem/BioE part of his academic background.

Dec 22, 2012 at 23:25 comment added JeffE do not wish to bring attention to that (lest it hurt any chances) — Weird. I'd expect having a degree outside your current research area to help, not hurt. (I've served on CS faculty hiring committees for years, and my current CS department head does not have a CS degree.)

Dec 22, 2012 at 20:37 comment added Piotr Migdal I use 1. for academic CV and 2. for non-academic Resume, see migdal.wikidot.com/en:cv. However, as a PhD student, I don't know what is exactly expected.
