Applying to the LTI Ph.D and M.S. Programs

Introduction

You may apply for admission to either the Ph.D or MS program, depending on your academic goals. If you apply to the Ph.D program, a previous MS degree is not required. All applicants will be reviewed, and it is possible that you may apply to the Ph.D program and be offered admission to the MS program instead. Applications and all supporting documentation for admission to either program must be received by December 14th.

Applications

The CMU School of Computer Science (which houses the LTI Department) now has a single online application. Please use the online SCS application and follow the instructions carefully.

Applications and all supporting documents, including letters of recommendation, for the PhD Program in LTI and the Masters Program in LTI must be received by the final deadline December 14th. You may submit your application by December 3rd to avoid higher application fees.

If you submit your application by December 3rd, the application fee is $75 for one program and $50 for each additional program. The early deadline does not imply an early decision. Between 12:01 am EST on December 4th and 11:59 pm on December 14th the application fee increases to $125 for one program and $75 for each additional program.
