Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)

Carnegie Mellon is a global research university of more than 10,000 students, 70,000 alumni and 4,000 faculty and staff. Recognized for its world-class arts and technology programs, collaboration across disciplines and innovative leadership in education, Carnegie Mellon is consistently a top-ranked university.

At Carnegie Mellon, our core values — innovation, creativity, problem-solving and collaborative teamwork — provide the foundation for everything we do.

Guided by these values, Carnegie Mellon students experience a distinctive education that gives them tools to pioneer solutions through an approach that values both teamwork and leadership. The effect is both far-reaching and close to home. Its real-world impact is visible within our local communities, across the country and around the world.

Throughout its evolution from a trade school to an internationally prominent research university, Carnegie Mellon has remained true to three primary objectives: to deliver distinctive, first-quality education; to foster research, creativity and discovery; and to use the new knowledge created on campus to serve society.

Off campus, students can join the 86,000 other college students who call Pittsburgh their higher-ed home. Offering countless sporting, recreational, educational and cultural experiences, Pittsburgh affords students all the best an urban campus has to offer. And area parks, both inside the city and outside, offer a convenient retreat to nature.

The Carnegie Mellon campus sits inside the city limits in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood, a community rich with museums, libraries and entertainment, and home to both Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh.
