MRSD is designed to be completed full-time in 21 months. Accepted MRSD students interested in completing the program part-time should contact the MRSD Program Office to discuss their individual circumstance. The Robotics Institute does not offer distance-learning, thereby requiring students to be on the Pittsburgh campus for all formal coursework.  The MRSD program generally does not accept the enrollment of non-MRSD students in any of its core, project, or business courses (excluding 16-720 Computer Vision).
