This website is currently being updated to include procedures for our CS web-based Admissions system. This is a secondary step all CS Applicants must take *after* submitting their application through the university-wide online application system. Notably, all materials except two sets of official transcripts must be submitted on-line. This includes unofficial transcripts; copies of your official GRE and, if applicable, TOEFL scores; and a minimum and maximum of 3 letters of recommendation. You will not be able to change your recommenders once you submit your online application.

The department only handles CS graduate student admissions. All undergraduate admissions are handled by Stanford University Admissions. Helpful information about getting an undergraduate degree in computer science can be found at http://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/undergrad/.

The department offers the degrees of Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. It also participates in the following undergraduate inter-disciplinary programs: Computer Systems Engineering, Symbolic Systems, and Mathematical and Computational Sciences. Additionally, the department participates in graduate inter-disciplinary programs in Scientific Computing and Computational Mathematics.
