Graduate studies

The College of Engineering offers a variety of traditional and interdisciplinary graduate programs within a maker ecosystem that brings together faculty and students from many disciplines to create, physically realize, and evaluate solutions to complex problems in industry, government, and academia. Even before our students graduate, they are sought out for internships.

Graduates of our programs have excellent opportunities awaiting them in industry, government, academia, and the corporate world. Our global network of alumni is changing what it means to be an engineer in the world. By using an authentic interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving that is the signature of Carnegie Mellon, every day our engineers are making an impact.
