Interested in grad school with CMDI?
CMDI graduate students are enrolled in Georgia Tech graduate programs spanning the sciences, reflecting the broad inter-disciplinary research of the Center. CMDI is not a degree-granting program. Currently our trainees are enrolled in the following degree-granting programs:
Many of these programs offer application fee waivers on request. If you are interested in applying for a PhD in a CMDI lab, we recommend you first contact individual faculty members in your area of interest, and ask them which PhD programs they typically recruit from. Application processes and deadline vary by program, but the general calendar is to apply by late fall. For more information about applying to Ph.D. programs at Georgia Tech, visit grad.gatech.edu
