In little more than a century, Carnegie Mellon has educated some of the most distinguished inventors and innovation leaders on Earth. Deciding to earn your degree here not only has the power to change your life…it has the power to change the world.

Innovation with Impact

The science of artificial intelligence began at Carnegie Mellon. Today, our world-renowned Robotics Institute continues to redefine the field. 

The science of software engineering was invented at Carnegie Mellon.

The model for the Internet and the World Wide Web began here. So did the first Internet search engine.

Common products such as Kevlar and Silly Putty were dreamed up by the creative minds at Carnegie Mellon. Think about it. What will you invent here?

Gain a Competitive Advantage

Our emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration will help you develop the innovative, original thinking you’ll need to succeed in a global marketplace.

By encouraging an open exchange of ideas—with other students in Qatar and with their counterparts in the United States and around the world—we create students who are as renowned for their technical superiority as for their extraordinary communication and teamwork skills.

It’s the reason, as a Carnegie Mellon graduate, anything is possible.
