Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Computer Science Department at Princeton. This site is designed to give information on our graduate study program and the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). Candidates may apply directly to the Ph.D. program after completion of a bachelor's degree; a master's degree is not required for admission.

Effective July 2007, the department will no longer accept applications for, or admit students to, the Master of Engineering degree program.

Admission to Princeton is for the fall semester only. We do not offer evening, weekend, or summer courses. We do not have a distance learning program. Normally a student admitted for graduate study is expected to have completed a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, science, or mathematics; a degree in computer science is not required.

The application deadlines for Fall 2008 are December 1, 2007 for international applicants and December 15, 2007 for applicants residing in North America. It is important that all materials reach the University by the deadline dates.
