Carnegie Mellon University: An Overview

Carnegie Mellon is a national research university of about 7,500 students and 3,000 faculty, research and administrative staff. The institution was founded in 1900 in Pittsburgh by industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.

Today 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 Graduate School of Industrial Administration, the School of Computer Science, and the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management.

Carnegie Mellon's position of leadership in the arts and in technology is unusual in higher education today. The institution's prominence in the arts dates back to 1917 when it awarded the first undergraduate degree in drama. And it has become a national leader in technological fields such as computer science, robotics and engineering.

The university is a diverse blend of academic disciplines, including nationally recognized programs in cognitive psychology, management and public policy, writing and rhetoric, applied history, philosophy and biological sciences.

Carnegie Mellon is recognized as a pioneer in the uses of computing in education. Its "Andrew" computing network, named for benefactors Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon, is among the most advanced on any campus today.

Carnegie Mellon annually ranks among the country's top national universities, according to U.S. News & World Report magazine. Its undergraduate program ranked 23rd in the magazine's 2000 and 2001 surveys.

Carnegie Mellon ranked first in the specialty area of computer engineering according to U.S. News & World Report magazine's annual qualitative and quantitative analysis of "America's Best Graduate Schools" in 2001.

The university's Graduate School of Industrial Administration (GSIA) ranked second among the world's top 50 business schools in a 2001 Wall Street Journal survey. The program rated first for developing analytical and problem solving skills. Concentrations in operations management, e-commerce and information technology also received high recognition.

The Psychology Department at Carnegie Mellon has long been considered a pioneer in such areas  as cognitive psychology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. Today its programs feature not  only those fields but social psychology, evelopmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and health psychology. Ranked as one of the best in the nation, the Psychology Department of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences consistently places among the top 10 in research and education polls prepared by U.S. News & World Report Magazine.
