About

The mission of the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing is to address the opportunities and challenges of the computing age — from hardware to software to algorithms to artificial intelligence — by transforming the capabilities of academia in three key areas:

• Computing fields: Support the rapid growth and evolution of computer science and computational areas of allied fields such as electrical engineering, as reflected notably in the rise of artificial intelligence;
• Computing across disciplines: Facilitate productive research and teaching collaborations between AI and computing with other fields, rather than place one field in service of another;
• Social and ethical aspects of computing: Lead the development of and changes in academic research and education, and effectively inform practice and policy in industry and government.

The College’s unique structure spans MIT while providing a focused home for education and research in computer science and artificial intelligence — strengthening the computing fields and connecting AI and computing more effectively and creatively to every discipline.

“The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing has a broad mandate across MIT: to build on the Institute’s existing strengths in computing and AI, create new educational and research programs that connect these fields with every discipline, and help ensure their benefits are broadly shared.”

Dan Huttenlocher Dean, MIT Schwarzman College of Computing
