Prospective Students

Carnegie Mellon University is a recognized pioneer in the field of software engineering research, practice, and education. Carnegie Mellon West, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, continues the tradition of offering world-class professional graduate programs in software engineering and software management, catering to the needs of working professionals.

Carnegie Mellon West’s unique team-oriented, project-based curriculum gives you the opportunity to learn invaluable skills and then immediately apply what you’ve learned at the workplace. This practical, hands-on experience allows you the freedom to truly innovate and explore complex problems, aligning both technical and business decisions to help your organization accomplish its goals.

NEW! FULL-TIME PROGRAMS

Carnegie Mellon West is pleased to be launching a new Full-Time MS Software Engineering program, beginning Fall 2008. 

Full-time MS Software Engineering
The full-time MS in Software Engineering program is designed for technical professionals interested in working as software engineers, developers, team leads, and architects.  Carnegie Mellon West’s 12-month, full-time MS SE program delivers a team-based, project-oriented curriculum focused on agile applications reflective of the dynamic Silicon Valley software industry.

PART-TIME PROGRAMS

Our part-time graduate programs are designed to specifically meet the needs of busy working professionals. Each program is completed over six semesters (two years). Typically, 30% of our students live outside the Bay Area, and local students often participate remotely given their busy work and travel schedules. To support our students’ remote requirements, we provide a number of asynchronous and synchronous collaborative tools to support participation in meetings, conference calls, and class sessions.

MS Software Engineering
   Technical Track
   Development Management Track
Within its Software Engineering Masters program, Carnegie Mellon West offers both a Technical track and a Development Management track. The Technical track appeals to software developers who are looking to advance to a senior developer or architect role. Software developers looking to advance to a technical project or software development management role will find the Development Management track particularly attractive.

MS Software Management
Carnegie Mellon West’s Software Management Masters program appeals to senior software developers and managers aiming to pursue director, senior management, and executive careers in software businesses.

NEW! DOCTORAL PROGRAMS

ECE PhD
Starting in Fall 2008, ECE will accept full-time or part-time PhD students on the west coast. The initial focus will be on the areas of mobility, networking or security, closely affiliated with the research of the CyLab Mobility Research Center.
