Application & Admission Information

Applications from candidates with a strong foundation in core disciplinary areas of mathematics, engineering, physics, or related fields are strongly encouraged via the CSE PhD electronic application. Applicants are asked to select the home department(s) and specific MIT CCSE-affiliated faculty within the department(s) that best match their research interests. At the discretion of the CSE admissions committee, applications might also be shared with a home department beyond those designated. Admission decisions are conducted jointly between CCSE and the home departments.

Please note: This is the doctoral program in Computational Science and Engineering; applicants interested in Computer Science should explore the offerings of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

GRE / English Language Requirements

GRE REQUIREMENT WAIVED FOR FALL 2022

All applicants are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Aptitude Test. The MIT code for submitting GRE score reports is 3514 (you do not need to list a department code). GRE scores must current; ETS considers scores valid for five years after the testing year in which you tested.

English Language Proficiency Requirement*

FOR FALL 2022, WE WILL ACCEPT THE TOEFL “AT-HOME” IBT DUE TO COVID-19
The CSE PhD program requires international applicants from non-English speaking countries to take the academic version of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The IELTS exam measures one’s ability to communicate in English in four major skill areas: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. A minimum IELTS score of 7 is required for admission. For more information about the IELTS, and to find out where and how to take the exam, please visit the IELTS web site.

While we will also accept the TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language), we strongly prefer the IELTS. Please note the minimum TOEFL iBT score is 100.

Degree Requirements for Admission

To be admitted as a regular graduate student, an applicant must have earned a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from a college, university, or technical school of acceptable standing. Students in their final year of undergraduate study may be admitted on the condition that their bachelor’s degree is awarded before they enroll at MIT.

Applicants without an SM degree may apply to the CSE PhD program, however, the Departments of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Mechanical Engineering nominally require the completion of an SM degree before a student is considered a doctoral candidate. As a result, applicants to those departments holding only a bachelor’s degree are asked in the application to indicate whether they prefer to complete the CSE SM program or an SM through the home department.

Nondiscrimination Policy

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in education and employment.  To read MIT’s most up-to-date nondiscrimination policy, please visit the Reference Publication Office’s nondiscrimination statement page.
