- Carnegie Mellon University is a top-tier international university that has been a birthplace of innovation throughout its 110-year history. From the outset, we have endeavored to make an impact on the everyday lives of people. We choose not to study everything, but where we focus, we excel. We are renowned for working across disciplines to solve major scientific, technological and societal challenges. We put a strong emphasis on making things from paintings to software to robots. We have partnerships across the globe. In addition to our campuses in Pittsburgh, Qatar and Silicon Valley, we have more than a dozen degree programs in Asia, Australia and Europe. Carnegie Mellon alumni, faculty and students are known for their powerful combinations of intellectual strength, creative spark, tireless work ethic and a commitment to problem solving.
