Starting in Fall 2027, Cornell Bowers is offering two online master's programs in artificial intelligence, each designed for anyone seeking to deepen their expertise in AI. Whether you want to build AI systems from the ground up or transform your profession by applying AI where it matters most, there's a path for your specific career goals.

Join a top ranked Ph.D. program where pioneering research spans the full spectrum of computer science, with opportunities to work alongside renowned faculty in both Ithaca, N.Y. and New York City campuses. Our program integrates cutting-edge research with interdisciplinary collaboration, connecting doctoral students with leading experts in computer science, engineering, and mathematics.

The Information Science Ph.D. program studies technological systems and how people use them, from both technical and social perspectives. The field examines computing and communication technologies alongside their broader contexts — social, cultural, economic, and political. This interdisciplinary approach combines diverse methodologies, from computer modeling and system design to experimental studies and critical social analysis.

Cornell’s Ph.D. in Robotics is offered through four graduate school fields — Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering — and prepares students for interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research while emphasizing ethical considerations, stakeholder engagement, and the broader societal impact of their work. 
 

Cornell's Ph.D. in Statistics prepares future leaders in statistical research and innovation. Students develop comprehensive expertise in creating and implementing novel statistical methods, proving mathematical properties of statistical approaches, collaborating with researchers across disciplines, and solving complex real-world problems. 

The Ph.D minor in Data Science is designed for doctoral students interested in understanding the methods of data gathering and analysis.

The Ph.D minor in Statistics is designed for doctoral students seeking to develop strong theoretical and practical foundations in statistical methods and analysis. The Field of Statistics offers three distinct minor options for Ph.D. students.

Theory + Methods
Emphasizes theoretical foundations in probability, mathematical statistics, and advanced statistical theory.

Combine the power of mathematical theory with practical programming skills, all while pursuing your degree. The Special Master's program is open to current students pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Information Science, and Statistics.  This program empowers students to master computational methods alongside their primary research, creating versatile experts ready for tomorrow's challenges.
