Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a private, global research university located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1900, the university now stands at the vital intersection of technology and humanity. CMU attracts the doers and dreamers — those who dare to take the school motto “My Heart Is in the Work” and run with it into the 21st century — and well beyond. The university welcomes students with bold ideas, relentless energy, diverse backgrounds and a desire to collaborate across disciplines. At CMU, the drive to find a better way fuels everything we do. The fabric of the community interweaves nearly 7,000 undergrads among a 14,500+ total student population from 117 countries, and nearly 1,500 faculty members representing 52 countries. The university is home to quirky traditions like a kilt-wearing bagpipe band, the most painted fence in the world and a student-run annual spring carnival. CMU has seven schools and colleges — the College of Engineering, the College of Fine Arts, the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy, the Mellon College of Science, the School of Computer Science and the Tepper School of Business. Carnegie Mellon is frequently ranked #1 for its School of Computer Science and excels in a wide range of programs such as Time-Based New Media, Information & Technology Management and Artificial Intelligence. Carnegie Mellon’s main campus sits on 152 acres in Oakland, a historic neighborhood just 3.6 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh. No longer a steel town, Pittsburgh is beautiful, affordable and livable — especially for students — with thriving arts, culture, music, food, sports and outdoor scenes. CMU’s locations include Silicon Valley, Africa, Australia and Qatar as well as programs in New York, Washington, D.C., Asia, Europe and Latin America. More than 100,000 alumni representing 144 countries help foster the university’s global perspective.
