About
The Persistent Pursuit of Excellence
As we celebrate our 125th year, we do so with a renewed sense of purpose. Guided by our strategic vision and driven by our shared values, we are confident that we will rise to meet this moment and continue to lead with distinction in the decades to come.
Academics
Earning a place among the top 20 universities in the United States, Carnegie Mellon ranks No. 1 in seven undergraduate programs, including analytics and programming languages, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, information systems, mobile/web applications and software engineering.
Admission
Carnegie Mellon University’s dedication to global engagement continues with several members of its community accepting Fulbright grants for the 2026-27 academic year.
Campus Life
Carnegie Mellon University's annual Lunar Gala, a student-run fashion show which began in 1996, returned for its 30th year. This year's theme was FABLE, "an anthology of the fantastical worlds that color our identities, stepping through imaginations, and memories across people, times, and spaces."
Research
From improving health outcomes and enhancing education, to strengthening national security and advancing trustworthy artificial intelligence, our work makes life better for people everywhere. We ask bold questions, solve complex problems and make real change.
