Bachelor's Programs Each year, the School of Computer Science admits students to undergraduate programs ranging from a traditional B.S. in computer science to a bachelor of computer science and arts. Whatever option you choose, you’re guaranteed to find a rigorous program dedicated to the real-world training and practical problem solving that has been the hallmark of computer science education at CMU since its inception. B.S. in Computer ScienceCarnegie Mellon's undergraduate major in computer science combines a solid core of computer science courses with the ability to gain substantial depth in another area through a required minor in a second subject. The curriculum also gives you numerous choices for science and humanities courses. Computing is a discipline with strong links to many fields, and our program gives you unparalleled flexibility to pursue these fields. Our mathematics and probability component ensures that you'll have the formal tools to remain current as technologies and systems change, but at the same time you'll gain insight into the practical issues of building and maintaining systems by participating in intensive project-oriented courses.Unlike other universities, where research rarely occurs at the undergraduate level, CMU CS students often have part-time or summer jobs — or receive independent study credit — working on research while pursuing their bachelor's degree. If you're interested in a research/graduate school career, we offer an intensive course of research, equivalent to four classroom courses, culminating in the preparation of a senior research honors thesis.RequirementsCurrent Computer Science Undergraduate Curriculum CS_Sample_Curriculum_Schedule.pdf (109.93 KB) Computer Science Undergraduate curriculum information for prior years are available on the Previous Course Catalogs webpage.How to Apply SCS Undergraduate MajorsIncluding the B.S. in CS, the School of Computer Science offers five bachelor's degrees.Information on the other four degrees can be found on the respective websites for the degree:Artificial IntelligenceComputational BiologyHuman-Computer InteractionRobotics Academics Current Semester Courses Upcoming Semester Courses Schedule of Classes Undergraduate Catalog Bachelor's Programs How to Apply as Incoming First-Year Incoming Student Course Transfer B.S. in CS Curriculum B.S. in CS Concentrations B.S. in CS External Course Transfer B.S. in CS Program Contacts Guidelines for Internal Transfer or Dual Degree Minor and Additional Major in Computer Science Other SCS Undergraduate Programs Summer Research for International Students Master's Programs Doctoral Programs Student Resources
