The only top 25 university founded in the 20th century, Carnegie Mellon has rapidly evolved into an internationally recognized institution with a distinctive mix of world-class educational and research programs in computer science, robotics, engineering, the sciences, business, public policy, fine arts and the humanities.
More than 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students at Carnegie Mellon receive an education characterized by its focus on creating and implementing solutions to solve real problems, interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. A small student-to-faculty ratio provides an opportunity for close interaction between students and professors.
The university consists of seven colleges and schools: The Carnegie Institute of Technology (engineering), the College of Fine Arts, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Mellon College of Science, the David A. Tepper School of Business, the School of Computer Science and the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management. Carnegie Mellon also has campuses in California and the Arabian Gulf nation of Qatar and is expanding its international presence in Europe and Asia with master's programs and other educational partnerships.
Carnegie Mellon is one of the most technologically sophisticated campuses in the world. When it introduced its "Andrew" computing network in the mid-1980s, it pioneered educational applications of technology. Today, the university employs a university-wide wireless computing network that allows faculty, staff and students to log on to the Internet and communicate via email from anywhere at any time. Carnegie Mellon was ranked as the nation's "most wired" university by Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine.
