BAIR Admissions

Announcement (9/23/20): Starting this year (i.e., Grad Admissions for students starting Fall 2021) the AI Admissions Committee will not consider GRE Scores in making decisions. BAIR believes in diversity leading to better research and decision making and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds to apply.

Graduate Admissions

Graduate Admissions happens through the various departments the BAIR faculty are affiliated with. Most BAIR faculty are affiliated with the EECS department, which houses the CS Division and the EE Division. Please make sure to choose the division and area that are right for you. To learn more about each area, you can check out some of the representative faculty webpages linked next to each area.
