Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

Although most students admitted to the joint CMU-UC Master programs hold undergraduate degrees in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or physics, applicants who can clearly demonstrate the ability to perform graduate-level work in software engineering are also considered. Excellence and promise will balance a lack of formal preparation. Programming experience is essential, but applicants who have allowed a zeal for programming to to interfere with other aspects of education are not usually considered qualified.

To enter the joint CMU-UC Master programs you must have:

1. Significant experience in software development projects.If you are applying for the MSE program, you need to have *at least* two years of relevant professional experience on the software industry. Most candidates average 5 to 10 years of experience. If you do not have at least two years experience, you may qualify for the Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT-SE) degree.

2. Knowledge, at least at the level of an undergraduate course, of discrete mathematics, algorithms and data structures and programming languages

3. Skills in programming-in-the-small, as well as competence in using an imperative block-structured or object-oriented languages such as Java, C#, C++, Python, Ruby, Pascal or C. Knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming is highly recommended.

4. Practical knowledge of programming methods and computer organization

5. In-depth knowledge of at least two of the following topics:
  • > compiling techniques
  • > comparative programming languages
  • > operating systems
  • > database systems
