Carnegie Mellon founded one of the first Computer Science departments in the world in 1965. As research and teaching in computing grew at a tremendous pace at Carnegie Mellon, the university formed the School of Computer Science (SCS) at the end of 1988. Carnegie Mellon was one of the first universities to elevate Computer Science into its own academic college at the same level as the Mellon College of Science and the College of Engineering. Today, SCS consists of seven departments and institutes, including the Computer Science Department that started it all, along with the Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Department, the Human-Computer Interaction Institute, the Language Technologies Institute, the Machine Learning Department, the Robotics Institute and the Software and Societal Systems Department. Together, these units make SCS a world leader in research and education. Over the last eight years, SCS has launched four new primary undergraduate majors in Computational Biology, Artificial Intelligence (the first of its kind in the United States), Human-Computer Interaction, and Robotics. These new majors, along with the highly-ranked Computer Science major, give students in SCS distinct paths in the field of computing with ample opportunities in industry and advanced research. 

The School of Computer Science offers the following majors and minors:

  • B.S. in Artificial Intelligence
  • B.S. in Computational Biology
  • B.S. in Computer Science
  • B.S. in Human-Computer Interaction
  • B.S. in Robotics
  • Bachelor's in Computer Science and Art (joint with the College of Fine Arts)
  • Additional major in Artificial Intelligence
  • Additional major in Computational Biology
  • Additional major in Computer Science
  • Additional major in Human-Computer Interaction (Interdisciplinary)
  • Additional major in Robotics
  • Minor in Artificial Intelligence

  • Minor in Human-Computer Interaction
  • Minor in Information Security, Privacy and Policy
  • Minor in Language Technologies
  • Minor in Machine Learning
  • Minor in Neural Computation
  • Minor in Robotics
  • Minor in Software Engineering

Information for these majors and minors can be found through the navigation menu or through the links below:

Students who apply to, and are directly admitted into, the School of Computer Science can choose between five primary majors: Artificial Intelligence, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction and Robotics. Students with artistic and computing interests may be given the option to pursue a major in Computer Science and Art. Suitably prepared students from other Carnegie Mellon colleges are eligible to apply for internal transfer to the School of Computer Science and will be considered for transfer if grades in specific requirements are sufficiently high and space is available. Consult the program websites for specific requirements for transfer requests. Computation-oriented programs are also available within the Mellon College of Science, the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the College of Engineering and the College of Fine Arts. 

Policies & Procedures

Academic Standards and Actions

Grading Practices

Grades given to record academic performance in SCS are detailed under Grading Practices at Undergraduate Academic Regulations.

Dean's List WITH HIGH HONORS

SCS recognizes each semester those undergraduates who have earned outstanding academic records by naming them to the Dean's List with High Honors. The criterion for such recognition is a semester quality point average of at least 3.75 while completing a minimum of 36 factorable units and earning no incomplete grades.

Overload

An overload in SCS is defined as any schedule with more than 54 units in one semester. First-year SCS students with a QPA of 3.75 or higher may request an overload of up to 6 additional units in their second semester; first-year SCS students cannot overload in their first semester. SCS second-year and higher students may request an overload of up to 12 additional units. Overloads are not automatically granted; they must be approved by the student’s academic advisor and the SCS Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs.

For an overload to be approved, the overall workload should be only slightly higher (5-6 hours per week) than a workload the student has had in a recent semester that demonstrated a successful outcome. Before requesting an overload, a student should consult with his or her academic advisor to determine whether an overload is truly needed. Overload requests will be granted by the academic advisor in circumstances when they are necessary to further the educational goals of the student while addressing the need to support the student's overall academic progress, participation in extracurricular activities and personal well-being.

Graduate Courses

First-year students are not permitted to register for graduate courses. SCS second-year and higher students might be able to register for a graduate course if the course is necessary for their educational goals and they achieve success in advanced courses in prior semesters. Registration for graduate course(s) is at the discretion and recommendation of a student’s academic advisor. Before attempting to register for a graduate course, a student should consult with their academic advisor.

Academic Actions

To maintain good academic standing, students from SCS must attain a quality point average (QPA) of at least 2.0 for each semester and a cumulative QPA of 2.0 and maintain adequate progress toward completing their degree requirements. For students with incomplete grade(s), default grade(s) will be used in the QPA calculation. For SCS, adequate progress toward completing degree requirements includes passing foundational courses of 15-112, 15-122, 15-151 (or 21-127 if applicable), with grades of C or higher, 21-120 and 21-122 with grades of D or higher by the end of the sophomore year. A review of a student’s academic record is completed after each Fall and Spring semester. 

A student will no longer be in good standing if they meet any of the following criteria:

  • Their semester QPA is below 2.00.
  • Their cumulative QPA is below 2.00.
  • They fail to complete a required foundational CS or math course after two or more attempts with a C or higher. These courses include: 15-112, 15-122, 15-151 (or 21-127), 21-120, 21-122.
  • They do not complete their required foundational CS and math requirements by the end of the sophomore year.

Students who are not in good standing are first put on Academic Warning for the following semester. After that following semester, if the student is still not in good standing, the student will be put on Academic Suspension. However, a student on Academic Warning who is meeting the semester QPA requirement but is not yet meeting other requirements may be continued on Academic Warning. If the QPA is impacted by an incomplete grade, the action will be reviewed once the final grade is posted, and the action will be rescinded if appropriate.

A student is removed from Academic Warning and returned to good academic standing when both the semester and cumulative quality point averages are at least 2.0, and if adequate progress toward completing degree requirements is being made (i.e. completing foundational courses).  

The minimum period of Academic Suspension is one academic year (two non-summer semesters). Academic suspension is meant to allow a student to take a pause from their academic studies to address the issues that are causing poor academic performance. At the end of that period a student may return to campus (on Final Academic Warning) by:

  1. completing a Return from Leave form from the HUB and submitting this form to their academic advisor, and

  2. submitting an additional written statement to their academic advisor and the SCS Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs, minimum one page, that outlines what the student did while on leave to address the issues that led to the suspension and that would indicate future success on return, and

  3. (optional) submitting up to two letters of support from individuals supporting the student's return to the academic advisor and the SCS Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs.

Upon review by the student's academic advisor and the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs, in consultation with the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of International Education as appropriate, the student may be approved to continue their studies.

SCS students who return from Academic Suspension will be placed on Final Academic Warning for up to 2 semesters to allow them to return to good academic standing or transfer to another major that is more suitable to their interests and abilities. Students who return to good standing after a return from suspension will be removed from Final Academic Warning. Students who return to good standing after suspension but then do not meet one or more conditions as outlined above will return to Final Academic Warning.

Students who fail to return to good academic standing after two semesters on Final Academic Warning will be dropped from the School of Computer Science. Students who have been dropped and are not admitted to another program at the university are required to absent themselves from the campus (including residence halls and Greek houses) within a maximum of two days after the action.

Students may appeal an academic warning, suspension or drop decision in writing within 10 business days of notification. Students should consult with their academic advisor before appealing, and should typically only appeal if they believe that an academic action was not correctly determined by the above criteria or if they have substantial additional information which was not available when the academic action was decided and which indicates a timely return to good academic standing. Instructions on the appeal process are given in the warning, suspension or drop letter that is sent to the student.

Leave of Absence and Return from Leave of Absence

SCS undergraduate students may elect to take a leave of absence for a variety of reasons, after consultation with their academic advisor. Students who wish to take a leave of absence must do so by the last day of classes before final exams begin and before final grades are posted (in case this is earlier). Students requesting a leave of absence must complete a form from the HUB and have this signed by their academic advisor and SCS Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs. Students who take a leave of absence up to the last day to drop classes will have all of their classes dropped. Students who take a leave of absence after the last day to drop classes will be assigned a grade of W (withdrawal) for all of their classes. 

Students returning from a leave of absence are required to submit a Return from Leave of Absence form to their academic advisor for approval by the student's academic advisor and the SCS Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs. In addition, for students taking a leave for academic performance reasons, the student must also supply a letter that explains the reason for the leave, the actions that were performed during the leave to prepare the student for a successful return, and a description of the on-campus resources, if required, that would be used by the student in order to increase the likelihood of success. Students returning from a leave are also encouraged to provide up to two letters of support from people close to the student (e.g. family, friends, clergy, teachers, coaches, others as appropriate). Requests to return are reviewed by the student's academic advisor, the Associate Dean and the Student Affairs liaison to determine eligibility and any resources that need to be put into place to assist the student upon return. Contact the SCS Undergraduate Office (GHC 4115) for more information.

Internal Transfer within SCS

First year students admitted to SCS are considered undeclared during their first year. These students declare their SCS major in the middle of the second semester of their first year of study. SCS students who wish to transfer from one SCS major to another SCS major may do so by applying for transfer by mid-semester break during the semester the transfer is desired (or the end of the summer session for summer transfers). These students should consult with their academic advisor and the program director of the intended major for more information about specific course requirements and academic plans. Internal SCS transfers do not have any grade requirements. Transfers are approved based on demonstrated interest, ability, and available space in the intended major. Consult the website for the individual SCS major for more information about expected courses to take to demonstrate interest and ability. The transfer request form is available on the SCS website.

Transfer into SCS / Dual-Degree

Undergraduate students admitted to colleges at CMU other than SCS and wishing to transfer to SCS or pursue a dual degree in SCS should consult with the Director or Program Coordinator of the desired SCS major during their first year. See the individual program pages for the names of the current directors and program coordinators, along with their contact information.

  • For the Artificial Intelligence primary major, students must complete 15-122, 15-150, 15-281, 10-315, one of 15-210, 15-213 or 15-251, and one of 36-225, 21-325, 36-218 or 15-259, with an expected overall QPA over these six courses of 3.6 or higher.and an overall QPA of at least 3.0, in order to be considered for transfer or dual degree.
  • For the Computational Biology primary major, students must complete 21-127 (or equivalent), 15-122, 15-251, 15-351 (or 15-210*), 03-121 and either 02-251 or 02-250 with an expected overall QPA over these six courses of 3.6 or higher and an overall QPA of at least 3.0, in order to be considered for transfer or dual degree. (*Students who take 15-210 will need to also take 15-150; this course is not required for the B.S. in Computational Biology but can count as an elective.)
  • For the Computer Science primary major, students must complete 21-127 (or equivalent), 15-122, 15-150, 15-210, 15-213, 15-251 with an expected overall QPA over these six courses of 3.6 or higher and an overall QPA of at least 3.0, in order to be considered for transfer or dual degree.
  • For the Human-Computer Interaction primary major, students must complete 21-127 (or equivalent), 15-122, 15-150, 05-410, one of 15-210 or 15-213, and one of 05-380 or 05-431, with an expected overall QPA over these six courses of 3.6 or higher and an overall QPA of at least 3.0, in order to be considered for transfer or dual degree. 
  • For the Robotics primary major, students must complete 21-127 (or equivalent), 15-122, 15-213, 15-251, one of the following robotics courses: 16-211, 16-299, 16-311 (or Robot Building when launched), and one of 36-225, 21-325, 36-218 or 15-259, with an expected overall QPA over these 6 courses of 3.6 or higher and an overall QPA of at least 3.0, in order to be considered for transfer or dual degree.  

Students may apply for transfer by the start of the mid-semester break in the semester when the final course(s) of the six required courses will be completed (or the end of the summer session for summer transfer requests). In the case of course(s) in progress, the mid-semester grades will be used in the QPA calculation. The decision to allow transfer or dual degree will be made by committee based on the student's academic performance (in the specified courses and in their courses overall if necessary), additional involvement in SCS and other computing-related activities, and availability of space in the student's class level. Students should consult the SCS Undergraduate Office for complete information concerning minimum requirements, instructions and deadlines.

External Transfer

A student currently enrolled at another university or college who wishes to transfer to SCS should first apply through the Office of Admission. If the Office of Admission believes the applicant meets admission guidelines, the student's record is sent to SCS for evaluation. Admission is based on seat availability, overall academic performance and course rigor from the student's current institution, ability to complete the rigorous SCS program on time, and the application material including recommendations and reflection essay(s). It is important to note that extremely few external transfers are admitted to the SCS program at Carnegie Mellon University due to space limitations. Additionally, any external transfer that is admitted into a major in SCS is not allowed to change majors within SCS for a minimum of one year and must meet all transfer requirements as defined above for students applying to transfer into SCS from another college/school at Carnegie Mellon (minus any courses that were granted as transfer courses).

Graduation Requirements

  1. A requirement for graduation is the completion of the program specified for a degree with a cumulative quality point average of 2.00 or higher for all courses taken at CMU. 
  2. Students must be recommended for a degree by the faculty of SCS.
  3. A candidate for the bachelor's degree must complete at the University a minimum of four semesters of full-time study, or the equivalent of part-time study, comprising at least 180 units of course work.
  4. Students will be required to have met all financial obligations to the university before being awarded a degree.
 

General Education Requirements

All undergraduate degrees in the School of Computer Science include depth in their particular field of study but also breadth through the general education requirements. General education requirements are part of SCS degrees to give students an opportunity to learn more about the world from scientific and humanistic points of view. These additional skills are useful for graduates since computing is often embedded in domains that are not entirely within the bounds of computing. SCS students will need to use their computing skills to solve problems alongside scientists and engineers, artists, social and cognitive scientists, historians, linguists, economists and business experts, and SCS students will need to communicate effectively and understand the ethical implications of their work. The general education requirements help SCS students gain this broad perspective so they can work well in a wide variety of domains.

Science and Engineering

All candidates for a B.S. degree in the School of Computer Science must complete a minimum of 36 units offered by the Mellon College of Science and/or the College of Engineering (CIT). This includes at least four undergraduate courses in science and engineering, 9 units or more for each course, where at least one course must have a laboratory component and at least two courses must be from the same department. 

For Computational Biology majors, consult the Computational Biology program page for specific science and engineering requirements. The required science and engineering courses for the Computational Biology major also satisfy the General Education requirement for SCS by default.

C. Humanities and Arts Electives (minimum 27 units)
Complete 3 non-technical undergraduate courses of at least 9 units each from any of the departments in the Dietrich College of Humanities & Social Sciences or the College of Fine Arts. Some of the courses taught in these units are considered technical courses and may not be used to satisfy this requirement (see Deletions below). Additionally, a select set of courses from the Tepper School of Business and from Environmental and Public Policy (CIT) can also count for this requirement (see Additions below). Students may combine 2 mini humanities/arts courses totaling at least 9 units together to form a single course of 9 units or more with advisor approval in consultation with the SCS Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs. Students are encouraged, but not required, to take courses from different departments to gain additional breadth and to create new opportunities for engagement with the university community. 

Deletions

Some courses from the Dietrich College or the College of Fine Arts may not count toward the unconstrained electives in Humanities and Arts in SCS due to the technical (computing and/or mathematical) nature of the courses. In general, any humanities or arts courses that have computer science or mathematics prerequisites do not count toward this requirement.

New Courses

In the event that a new course is taught in DC, CFA or TSB, consult with an advisor before taking the course. Your academic advisor will notify the SCS General Education Committee who will review the request and make adjustments to the academic audit if approved. Courses are reviewed based on the constraints given above.

Honors Research Thesis

Students considering going on to graduate school in Computer Science or related disciplines should take a wide variety of Computer Science and Mathematics courses, as well as consider getting involved in independent research as early as possible. This would be no later than the junior year and can begin even earlier.  Students interested in graduate school in computer science or its related areas are strongly encouraged to participate in the SCS Honors Undergraduate Research Thesis program. Additionally, graduate CS courses can be taken with permission of the instructor and in consultation with an academic advisor.

The goal of the SCS Honors Undergraduate Research Thesis Program is to introduce students to the breadth of tasks involved in independent research, including surveys of prior work, problem formulation, experimentation, analysis, technical writing and public speaking. In particular, students write a short paper summarizing prior results and current progress in their desired area of research, present a public poster session in December of their senior year describing their current progress, present their final results with a poster and an oral presentation in the year-end university-wide Undergraduate Research Symposium (Meeting of the Minds) and submit a written thesis at the end of their senior year. Students work closely with faculty research advisors to plan and carry out their research. The 07-599 SCS Honors Undergraduate Research Thesis typically starts in the fall semester of the senior year, and spans the entire senior year. Students receive a total of 36 units of academic credit for the thesis work, 18 units per semester. Students should prepare their research prospectus (i.e. proposal of work) during the spring semester of their junior year, and students in this program are advised to plan their schedules carefully to ensure there is ample time to perform the required research for the thesis during the senior year.

Students interested in research are urged to consult with their undergraduate advisor and the SCS Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs no later than the end of their sophomore year in order to plan their workload effectively. Although there is no specific QPA requirement to participate, students are expected to have at least a 3.5 QPA in the core SCS topics relevant to their proposed research to be successful in their work. For those students with no background in research, they may consider using 07-300 Research and Innovation in Computer Science (9 units) as an introduction to the research process in their junior year since this course will introduce students to various research projects going on in the School of Computer Science and important skills that are needed to be an effective researcher. This course leads to a subsequent research practicum, 07-400 Research Practicum in Computer Science (12 units), that allows students to complete a small-scale research study or experiment and present a research poster. Students who use this practicum to start their senior thesis can use the 12 units toward the required 36 units. Students should consult with their academic advisor concerning how the units earned toward the senior thesis can be used toward elective requirements for their major. 

Interested juniors should submit a project prospectus of 3-4 pages by the end of their junior year, although submissions over the summer prior to the senior year will also be considered for review. A prospectus must include:

  • The name of the research advisor (an SCS faculty member)
  • A short abstract (two paragraphs, max)
  • A description of the problem to be worked on and its significance
  • A tactical description of the proposed research plan, including:
    • a description of the background reading to be carried out,
    • a description of the research contribution,
    • a description of the expected results of the research, and
    • a reasonably detailed timeline for the thesis work
  • A bibliography of related work (all references belong here)
  • The signature of the research advisor, signifying endorsement of the project and willingness to supervise and evaluate it (or an email confirmation from the research advisor)

Students who need help finding potential advisors should get in touch with their academic advisor or the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs. Applications to the program are due by the start of the senior year, although submission of applications in the junior year is encouraged.

Students completing an outstanding senior thesis based on the judgement of the SCS Undergraduate Review Committee will earn SCS College Honors and can compete for various SCS research awards given out during commencement.
