Deadlines
Most applications are due by the following dates:

Spring admission: October 1
Fall admission: December 31
Please review the Graduate Application Deadlines section to view the full application periods for each program.

Admission is based upon a student's overall academic and research backgrounds, GRE and TOEFL scores, academic transcripts, statement of purpose and recommendation letters and not upon financial need.

GRE Test
The GRE General Test is required of all applicants.

TOEFL Test
All international applicants whose “native” language is not English must take the TOEFL Exam. A minimum overall score of 84, with minimum sub-scores of IBT-R 22, IBT-L 22, IBT-S 18, and IBT-W 22 are required. The scores must be received by the application deadline for the semester in which students are applying. The TOEFL is not required if the applicant has graduated from a U.S. university, or if the applicant is a CMU student or alum.

Financial Aid:
Financial aid is awarded upon admission in the form of research assistantships based upon departmental resources and available openings. If available, financial aid is awarded for both the Fall and Spring semesters. There is not a special financial aid form.

Virtually all graduate students in the research intensive Ph.D. program receive financial aid, in the form of fellowships, that cover tuition, fees, and reasonable living expenses for the entire year. Thus, students can concentrate on course work and research without financial concerns or interruptions. All applicants are considered for financial aid. No special form is required. All full-time students in the Ph.D. program engage in research under faculty guidance.

Students in the Professional M.S. program are ineligible to receive departmental fellowships that cover tuition and living expenses. Students in this course-intensive program are primarily self-supported, but may be eligible to receive partial financial support in the form of hourly wages to support the teaching and research missions of the department. Students in the Professional M.S. program must complete at least two academic semesters before they may be admitted into the Ph.D. program. Only students in the Ph.D. program can be considered for departmental financial support in the form of tuition and stipend.

Application Fee
Please note that a non-refundable application fee of $70 is required of all applicants and only those applications received with the fee will be processed. Applications received without the fee will not be processed and the application fee cannot be waived.

专业介绍

Two Great Institutions
Carnegie Mellon's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Porto Business School in Porto, Portugal, offer a double-degree graduate program in engineering and business this fall.

The two year program gives participants the opportunity to study one year in Portugal at the Porto Business School and another year in the U.S. at Carnegie Mellon. Students must meet academic requirements from both universities to receive a master's degree in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon and an MBA ("The Magellan MBA") from Porto Business School.

Program Overview
The ECE MS/MBA Double Degree is an international program offered by Carnegie Mellon University and the Porto Business School, Portugal and features a curriculum focused on technology and management. The program offers a Professional MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering (awarded by Carnegie Mellon) and a Master of Business Administration (awarded by Porto Business School). The program seeks candidates with an engineering or science background and a minimum of two years of work experience.

Effective fall 2018, all incoming ECE graduate students, including M.S./MBA students, will be required to complete a one-unit Introduction to Graduate Studies course in their first semester in order to receive their degree.

See the program brochure for more information.

Program Structure
The MS ECE/MBA program runs for one full year at the Porto Business School campus, followed by two semesters at the CMU campus. When entering the program during the Fall semester, the student would spend their first full year at the Porto Business School, and their second year (Fall and Spring semesters) at CMU.

The MS in ECE (96 units) corresponds to 8 ECE courses (12 units each), with 6 courses taken at the CMU campus and 2 courses taken at Porto Business School.
The full-time MBA program (640 lecture hours, 75 ECTS - European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) is fully run at the Porto Business School campus and further includes an international week delivered at a foreign business school.
