Undergraduate Programs

The admissions process for each undergraduate major varies from program to program, but admissions for our main bachelor of science in computer science are handled through Carnegie Mellon's central Office of Undergraduate Admission. Learn more on our Undergraduate Admissions page.

Master's Programs

The Computer Science Department offers a main M.S. in Computer Science, and applications for that program are submitted online by mid-December for fall admission the following year. Other master's programs available to CSD students have their own admissions processes. Learn more about our admissions requirements and processes here.

Doctoral Programs

The Ph.D. in CS program uses the School of Computer Science online application for admissions. Applications are due in December for admittance the following fall. Students cannot begin in the spring. For more on how to apply, visit our Doctoral Admissions page.

The 2018-2019 application period for the Computer Science Department (CSD) at Carnegie Mellon University is open from September 1 through January 4, 2019.

Each year we seek candidates who have demonstrated commitment to excellence and leadership in undergraduate and graduate teaching, research, and/or service toward building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment.
