Academic Programs

The Robotics Institute and Carnegie Mellon offer many robotics related academic programs for students of all ages - from kindergarten through doctoral studies.

		PhD Programs Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) The world's first doctoral program in robotics prepares graduate students to be tomorrow's leaders in robotics research. Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition Option An interdisciplinary program for Robotics PhD students who are interested in the neural basis of cognition. MD / PhD Option An interdisciplinary graduate program that combines an MD degree from UPMC and a PhD in Robotics from CMU.

		Masters Programs Master of Science (MS) A two year masters program that teaches the fundamentals of robotics theory and practice through coursework and independent research. Master of Science - Robotic Systems Development (MRSD) An advanced graduate degree with a combined technical/business focus for recent-graduates/practicing-professionals engaged in, or wishing to enter, the robotics and automation field as practitioners in the commercial sector. Fifth Year Masters A special masters program that enables Carnegie Mellon undergraduates to complete a masters degree in their fifth year. Master of Science - Robotics Technology (MS-RT) A two year collaborative international program that teaches future technology entrepreneurs the foundations of robotics, software engineering, and management.

		Undergraduate Programs Additional Major The new Robotics Additional Major is for those undergraduates who want an in-depth understanding of Robotics Engineering and Science. Undergraduate Minor An undergraduate program that teaches the principles and practice of robotics through theoretical studies and hands-on experience with robots. Fifth Year Masters A special Masters program that enables Carnegie Mellon undergraduates to complete a masters degree in their fifth year.

		Kindergarten through 12th Grade (K-12) Programs Robotics Academy Using robotics to inspire and excite students to pursue math and science related careers, this curriculum is used in over 8,000 schools worldwide.
