A unique Ph.D. program in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon Computing technology is changing us. We are creating a  computational environment that is shaping our society.  But are these the changes we want?  Do we just stand back and watch, as commercial interests and governments build technologies around us? The faculty and students in the Societal Computing Ph.D. program in the School of Computer  Science answer decisively that waiting passively is not an option. Building on a decade of  world-leading research, we are shaping a new scientific discipline that is changing the world. We are asking the right questions. We are finding answers. Societal Computing is the branch of computer science that designs computational technology  to shape tomorrow’s digital world and uses computational methods to understand the societal  challenges a digital world poses. Our field is defined by the fundamental question it seeks to answer: ...

A reminder to undergrads who are applying for graduate studies for next year that they do not need a separate application for an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) that they intend to hold at Waterloo. Either the NSERC CGSM application will be used to evaluate you for an OGS or your graduate application will be used if you have not applied for an NSERC. If applying to other universities for graduate studies, please be aware that the OGS competition is now internal to the institution so you must apply through each institution and follow their instructions and deadlines which may be different at each institution. --  Margaret Towell Manager Graduate Studies David R.
