The Master of Human-Computer Interaction (MHCI) program at Carnegie Mellon is the first program in the world dedicated to preparing professionals for careers related to human-computer interaction, user-experience design and user-centered research. The MHCI program integrates service and design thinking into a rigorous HCI curriculum that prepares our students to design and guide the future of human and technology interactions.

The M.S. in Computational Biology program seeks to train the world’s best computational biologists at the master’s level. The curriculum provides both breadth and depth of training in computational biology, and is built on a solid foundation of biology, computer science, statistics and machine learning (data sciences). The program is designed for students with backgrounds in quantitative and/or life sciences. Students often participate in summer research internships in life sciences, industry or academic research laboratories.
The Fifth Year Master's in Computer Science is a direct master's program for students receiving a bachelor of computer science from Carnegie Mellon. The purpose and goal of the program is to encourage our very brightest undergraduates to become involved with research that broadens their often hectic undergraduate experience.
The Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) program offers students with a bachelor's degree the opportunity to extend their training with advanced study in computer science. Applicants should possess basic analytic skills and a strong aptitude for mathematics, programming and logical reasoning. A bachelor's degree in computer science is not required, but some scientific, engineering or mathematical background is an important predictor of success.
