If you can provide proof of your admission to another program and decision deadline, we may be able to provide you with an early admissions decision. Not all requests will be able to be accommodated.

If you are applying to Booth for Autumn 2021, you should know if you are admitted to Booth by the June 1st deadline. You should only submit your application to the joint program once you have been admitted to Booth. If you are not admitted to Booth, but still would like to pursue the MPCS, please submit our Full-Time or Part-Time Masters in Computer Science application.

Please contact us at questions@cs.uchicago.edu to discuss your application, eligibility and timing.

If you are accepted to the FT MS in CS, PT MS in CS or Pre-Doc programs, you will need to accept your offer of admission by the decision deadline in your offer letter and pay the non-refundable program deposit to secure your spot for the upcoming academic year. For the 2021-2022 academic year the MPCS program deposit is $1500. This is a non-refundable deposit that will be applied in full to your first tuition bill once you are registered for classes at the University of Chicago.
