Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) operates on a semester system with intakes primarily in Fall (August) and Spring (January). Some programs may also offer Summer intake. Application deadlines vary by program and level of study.
For undergraduate programs, Early Decision deadlines are typically November 1, while Regular Decision deadlines fall around January 3. Graduate programs have rolling deadlines, often between December and February, depending on the department. Professional programs like the Tepper School of Business may have multiple rounds, with deadlines ranging from October to April.
Prospective students should verify specific deadlines on CMU’s official website or departmental pages, as dates may shift annually.
