Known for its interdisciplinary focus and global reach, Carnegie Mellon University was recently named one of the “New Ivies” and has become one of the top schools in the country. With expertise in subjects that breach traditional disciplinary boundaries, like computational finance and behavioral economics, CMU is a forward thinking institution that harnesses it’s students’ intellectual curiosity and tireless work ethic. The university recognizes that ideas do not have boundaries, and thus has degree programs in ten countries and campuses in Doha, Qatar and Silicon Valley, California. With seven colleges and independent schools as well as research centers like the Robotics Institute, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and Software Engineering Institute, the school remains true to Scottish industrialist and founder Andrew Carnegie’s belief in the power of education to improve lives and communities.
