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 Apr 23 12PM - 1PM Theory Lunch Seminar - Meghal Gupta MEGHAL GUPTA Stream-Decodable Error-Correcting Codes In Person Gates Hillman 8102 Add event to Google Add event to iCal Apr 23 12:30pm - 1:30pm Database Seminar - Sailesh Krishnamurthy SAILESH KRISHNAMURTHY Real-world Applications of Gen AI and Databases In Person and Virtual - ET Porter Hall 100 Add event to Google Add event to iCal Apr 23 1:30pm - 2:30pm 5th Year Master's Thesis Presentation - Kefan Cao KEFAN CAO Computationally Reconstructing the Evolution of Cancer Risk Evolution In Person Gates Hillman 7101 Add event to Google Add event to iCal All CSD NewsLatest News April 22, 2025 Copilot Arena Helps Rank Real-World LLM Coding Abilities April 18, 2025 Two SCS Students Awarded Goldwater Scholarships April 10, 2025 CMU Study Shows Large Language Models Have Distinctive Styles
