Home Educating the next generation’s leaders and pushing the frontiers of the field of computer science through research that has lasting impact. Academics Bachelor's Programs The Computer Science Department admits students to an undergraduate program that you are guaranteed to find rigorous and dedicated to the real-world training and practical problem solving that has been the hallmark of computer science education at CMU since its inception. See the Programs Admissions Info Master's Programs We offer three distinct master’s options for students who have completed (or will complete) a bachelor’s degree and want to extend their training in computer science. Our largest program is the M.S. in Computer Science, which allows students to work with their academic advisor to create their own course of study. See the Programs Admissions Info Doctoral Programs Carnegie Mellon's Ph.D. in Computer Science is, above all, a research degree. We certify that our students have a broad foundation and awareness of core concepts in computer science, have advanced the field by performing significant original research and have reported that work in a scholarly fashion. See the Programs Admissions Info CSD Research Areas Research in the Computer Science Department is sustained by the strong foundations of our history. Building on that groundwork we are fearless in pushing the frontiers of our field and acting quickly to pursue new directions.Faculty and Undergraduate ResearchCSD PhD Blog Artificial Intelligence Graphics Programming Languages Security Systems Theory Upcoming CSD Events More CSD Events Jul 18 10AM - 11:30am Doctoral Thesis Oral Defense - Long Pham LONG PHAM Hybrid Resource-Bound Analyses of Programs In Person and Virtual - ET Reddy Conference Room, Gates Hillman 4405 and Zoom Add event to Google Add event to iCal Jul 18 2PM - 3:30pm Doctoral Thesis Oral Defense - Jeff Xu JEFF XU Spectral Techniques for Average-Case Complexity and Beyond In Person and Virtual - ET Reddy Conference Room, Gates Hillman 4405 and Zoom Add event to Google Add event to iCal Jul 22 10AM - 12PM SCS Workshop Series on GenAI in Computing Education SCS Faculty GenAI in Computing Education — Workshop One In Person Newell-Simon Hall Add event to Google Add event to iCal More CSD NewsLatest News July 16, 2025 Mr. Stehlik’s Opus Reflections on a 40 Year Teaching Life July 14, 2025 SCS Project Aims To Create Energy-Efficient Data Centers July 10, 2025 Skarlatos Receives 2025 IEEE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award
