15 PhD programmes offered by the university

The Ph.D. in Language and Information Technology at Carnegie Mellon University focuses on developing the next generation of scientific and entrepreneurial leaders.

The doctoral program in Information Systems and Management at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College prepares students with a deep understanding of the technical and organizational aspects of information systems.

This Statistics and Machine Learning program at Carnegie Mellon University differs from the standard Statistics Ph.D. program in its emphasis on machine learning and computer science. 

Carnegie Mellon University's Ph.D. in Computer Science is, above all, a research degree. When the faculty award a Ph.D., they certify that the student has a broad foundation and awareness of core concepts in computer science, has advanced the field by performing significant original research and has reported that work in a scholarly fashion.

In addition to our Ph.D. in Computer Science and the dual degree with Portugal, we also the interdisciplinary Computer Science - Neural Basis of Cognition degree at Carnegie Mellon University. 

Doctoral students conduct their studies both in Portugal and in the United States, and are co-advised by faculty from Carnegie Mellon University and from Portuguese partner higher education institutions. We offer a Computer Science with Portugal degree at the Carnegie Mellon University. 

Software is becoming ever more important to our daily lives, as well as every sector of industry.  But as software systems increase in capability, they increase in complexity, resulting in delays, defects, and vulnerabilities. We offer a Software Engineering degree at Carnegie Mellon University.

Students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. Program at Carnegie Mellon University are provided a research-intensive study of the fundamentals of electrical or computer engineering. 

Carnegie Mellon University ’s Ph.D. program in Human-Computer Interaction is rigorous, creative, and deeply interdisciplinary.

Our PhD Societal Computing program at the Carnegie Mellon University in the integrated, innovative discipline of Societal Computing provides the techniques, theories, and research methods to address societal issues and create technologies that impact society.

Carnegie Mellon University offers a dual-degree Ph.D. in Language and Information Technologies (Portugal Partnership) in cooperation with universities in Portugal.

At the Carnegie Mellon University, we offer our graduate students a phd degree in Machine Learning and Public Policy.

The PhD in Computational Design is a research-based program at Carnegie Mellon University investigating new design opportunities and critical perspectives at the intersection of design and computation.

Carnegie Mellon University's doctoral program in Machine Learning is designed to train students to become tomorrow's leaders through a combination of interdisciplinary coursework, hands-on applications, and cutting-edge research. 

The Joint Carnegie Mellon University-Pitt Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology (CPCB)  provides interdisciplinary training in using quantitative and computational approaches to tackle scientific questions that lie at the interface of the life, physical, engineering, and computer sciences.
