I suppose a CCIE is sort of a Ph.D. of networking. Studying for and taking the written is the equivalent of coursework, then doing hands-on to prepare for the lab is like research for your dissertation, the the lab test represents the oral exam. But I wouldn't stretch the analogy too far. For one thing the quality and difficulty of computer science graduate schools varies greatly. Just getting into one of the top programs is probably harder than CCIE. And for another the two programs don't really test the same skills, do they? (Though they surely overlap)
