For Prospective Graduate Students:

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 Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) and 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.

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 deadline for Fall 2024 is December 15, 2023 for all applicants. It is important that all materials reach the University by the deadline dates.

For more information, see the frequently asked questions. You can also contact our Graduate Coordinator at gradinfo@cs.princeton.edu.
