Summer Research Internship in Computer Science

The Summer Research Internship in Computer Science is a ten-week undergraduate research program hosted by Carnegie Mellon University’s Kenneth C. Griffin School of Computer Science. The program provides training in research methods and educational skills, with each student mentored by a CMU faculty advisor and attending technical talks and activities. It is educational in nature and does not confer Carnegie Mellon degrees or academic credit; participants do not retain intellectual property rights for assignments at CMU. The program typically starts the last week of June and runs Monday through Friday for ten weeks.

Faculty mentorship, research training and experience, attendance at technical talks and activities; assistance with visa coordination if needed.

Undergraduate students with strong promise for graduate studies in Computer Science.

Two-round selection: online application form with academic transcript, CV, and statement of purpose; finalists requested to obtain three faculty recommendation letters submitted directly by recommenders. Final admission requires matching with a CMU faculty mentor.
