Home Educating the next generation’s leaders and pushing the frontiers of the field of computer science through research that has real-world 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 All CSD Events May 11 1:30pm - 4PM SCS Commencement - SCS Undergraduate Diploma Ceremony (S25) SCS Commencement - SCS Undergraduate Diploma Ceremony In Person and Livestream Carnegie Music Hall, 4400 Forbes Avenue Add event to Google Add event to iCal May 12 10:30am - 12:30pm Doctoral Thesis Oral Defense - Dorian Yao Chan DORIAN YAO CHAN Holographic Displays for Computer Vision In Person and Virtual - ET Gates Hillman 8102 and Zoom Add event to Google Add event to iCal May 12 12:20pm - 1:20pm Database Seminar - Mihai Budiu MIHAI BUDIU DBSP: Incremental Computation on Streams and Its Applications to Databases In Person and Virtual - ET Gates Hillman 9115 and Zoom Add event to Google Add event to iCal All CSD NewsLatest News April 24, 2025 New Fund Honors Life of Bryan Kisiel April 22, 2025 Copilot Arena Helps Rank Real-World LLM Coding Abilities April 18, 2025 Two SCS Students Awarded Goldwater Scholarships
