Computer Science, Ph.D.

With the growing prevalence of AI, the field of computer science is rapidly changing, and doctoral education in computer science must evolve to meet the moment. In response to these demands, NYU is thrilled to announce a newly-merged Ph.D. in Computer Science through a collaboration between the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and the Courant Institute. The unified Ph.D., offered through the Courant Institute beginning in Fall 2026, combines the exceptional strengths of Courant and Tandon on foundational math, computing principles, and hand-on engineering applications, offering a breadth of expertise and a range of research opportunities that are truly unique.

Admission to the program is highly competitive. We seek creative, articulate students with undergraduate and master's degrees from top universities worldwide.
