CSL Project Course
The project course pairs teams of graduate students with companies looking to be more entrepreneurial.
Have an idea you want to explore? Want a fresh perspective to examine how it could be transformative for your company? Join a cohort of peer companies and work with Carnegie Mellon University graduate students to investigate what’s possible over the course of a semester.
Now offered during Fall Semester ‘24
Recruiting now - enrollment timeline
CMU and Pitt Graduate students can register for the waitlist now.
Once on the waitlist, the CSL Team will contact you to complete a brief application that will aid in team building. You must complete the application before the interview. Please note, not all students are accepted into the project course.
Why do students have to interview? All students who apply are interviewed to fill the limited spots in the course. CSL strives to provide students and corporations with best possible experience during the semester. While we take into account past industry experience, there is value to working on a project outside of your realm as our clients range from healthcare to fintech; from retail to construction.
When considering the project course, students need to be comfortable getting their arms around new markets, new business models, and new opportunities.
Apply by June 7 to be interviewed the week of June 17
Apply by July 12 to be interviewed the week of July 22
Apply by July 26 to be interviewed the week of August 2
