Education at SCS

Carnegie Mellon introduced the first undergraduate computing course all the way back in 1958. We were the first U.S. university to do so, and it set the stage for our leadership in every aspect of computer science.

Our programs consistently rank among the top in the nation, with leading positions in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, programming languages, software engineering and more. We are a world-leading hub for robotics. And we’re advancing education in machine learning, computation biology, language technologies and human-computer interaction.
