Apply to the SCS Graduate Programs: Early Admissions

    This application includes the following programs:

    The 5th-Year Master's in Machine Learning allows CMU students to complete a MS in Machine Learning in one additional year by taking some of the required courses as an undergraduate. Interested students apply earlier in Senior year than the standard application deadline and receive the response earlier as well.

    The Information Systems - Master of Software Engineering, Accelerated Masters Program is a 5th year master's program for undergraduate Information Systems majors in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon. The AMP gives you a head start in earning a master's degree while still enrolled as an undergraduate student. As a student in IS-MSE AMP, you will receive your master's degree three semesters after receiving your bachelor's degree.

    The Integrated MS Degree in Computational Biology is designed to provide advanced training for students who have completed one of CMU’s undergraduate degrees in addition to significant foundational coursework to prepare for accelerated study. Students will get more refined training from experts in the field who are doing work on the cutting edge of not only computational biology research but also with experts in biology, machine learning, etc. Being housed within the top-ranked School of Computer Science, the program itself focuses on a high level of proficiency on the development and refinement of computational methods for solving biological problems; both at the fundamental model level as well as directly applicable biological results. Our students are all highly vested in continuing the advances being made on all types of problems in computational biology. 

    The Accelerated Graduate Program – MS in Robotics allows CMU students to receive an admission decision to the MS in Robotics (MSR) program early which may also allow students to tailor the remainder of their undergraduate program to prepare for the masters program. Program length is still 24 months. Students interested in the program should apply at the beginning of their senior year.


    Please note that "early admissions" does not imply anything specific about your decision if you are admitted to a program. The offerings above are exclusive to current Carnegie Mellon undergraduate students, and we are reviewing these applications separate from our typical admissions cycle.

    Our application opens on February 5, 2025 for 2025/2026 Admissions.
