Computer Science is designed for students focused on understanding computational processes from both theoretical and applied perspectives. Key research areas span algorithms, system architecture, AI, computer vision, computational biology, distributed systems, databases, machine learning, natural language processing, networking, numerical methods, development tools, programming languages, robotics, and computational theory. Cornell's Ph.D. program in computer science maintains a top-six national ranking, featuring comprehensive research across all computing disciplines. Our program stands out through exceptional faculty, a legacy of groundbreaking research, and the extensive scope of doctoral studies. Faculty and doctoral candidates work across both Ithaca and Cornell Tech's New York City campus. The Computer Science Field incorporates faculty from diverse departments (including Electrical Engineering, Information Science, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Biology, and Architecture) who can advise doctoral research in computing.
Modern scientific and engineering work increasingly depends on computational modeling and simulation to inform experiments and designs. This work relies fundamentally on advancing numerical algorithms that are accurate, high-performance, and scalable. Large-scale computation defines contemporary data-driven science, connecting departmental research in numerical algebra, optimization, and differential equations.

IELTS 7.0
Qualification Requirements
To permit immediate enrollment in graduate-level courses, applicants are expected to have an appropriate background in the major subject chosen.
A baccalaureate degree from a college or university of recognized standing.
Transcripts of all previous college and university work
All transcripts or academic records must be official documents provided in the original language. If that language is not English, they must be accompanied by certified translations into English.
Internet-based Test (iBT) version of the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Each section (writing: 20, Listening: 15, Reading: 20, Speaking: 22) has its own minimum score as noted. Applicant scores must meet the minimums set by the Graduate school. A cumulative score is NOT the correct measure and is NOT sufficient for an offer of admission.
The Graduate School requires an overall band score of a 7.0 or higher on the IELTS.
