Carnegie Mellon has seven universities and free schools: the College of Engineering, College of Fine Arts, Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Mellon College of Science, Tepper School of Business, H. John Heinz III College and the School of Computer Science.
Carnegie Mellon fields 17 varsity athletic groups, the vast majority of which contend in the University Athletic Association gathering of the NCAA Division III.
History Carnegie Mellon University
Andrew Carnegie, author of the Carnegie Technical Schools
Post-Civil War industrialists aggregated exceptional riches and some were excited to establish foundations in their names as a major aspect of altruism crusades utilizing bits of their incomprehensible riches. Washington Duke at Duke University, Ezra Cornell at Cornell University, Johns Hopkins at Johns Hopkins University, Leland Stanford at Stanford University, John D. Rockefeller at the University of Chicago, and Cornelius Vanderbilt at Vanderbilt University are a few striking samples of Andrew Carnegie's good news of riches mindset and Carnegie Mellon University is one such result.
Institutional formation
The Carnegie Technical Schools were established in 1900 in Pittsburgh by the Scottish American industrialist and altruist Andrew Carnegie, who composed the time-regarded words "My heart is in the work", when he gave the assets to make the organization. Carnegie's vision was to open a professional preparing school for the children and little girls of regular workers Pittsburghers (huge numbers of whom worked in his factories). Carnegie was propelled by the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York established by industrialist Charles Pratt in 1887, demonstrating numerous viewpoints for his own school from Pratt.Three specialists were held to coordinate the configuration of the educational programs and grounds; among them was Clifford B. Connelley, a pioneer of professional instruction and future Pennsylvania Commissioner of Labor and Industry. In 1912 the organization changed its name to Carnegie Institute of Technology (CIT) and started offering four-year degrees. Amid this time, CIT comprised of four constituent schools: the School of Fine and Applied Arts, the School of Apprentices and Journeymen, the School of Science and Technology, and the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women.
The Mellon Institute of Industrial Research was established in 1913 by siblings Andrew Mellon and Richard B. Mellon to pay tribute to their dad, Thomas Mellon, the patriarch of the Mellon gang. The Institute started as an examination association which performed work for government and industry on contract and was at first settled as a division inside of the University of Pittsburgh. In 1927, the Mellon Institute consolidated as a free not-for-profit. In 1938, the Mellon Institute's famous building was finished and it moved to the new area.
In 1967, with backing from Paul Mellon, Carnegie Tech converged with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research to wind up Carnegie Mellon University. Carnegie Mellon's arrange ladies' school, the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College shut in 1973 and consolidated its scholastic projects with whatever remains of the university.

The modern exploration mission of the Mellon Institute survived the merger as the Carnegie Mellon Research Institute (CMRI) and kept doing take a shot at contract to industry and government. CMRI shut in 2001 and its projects were subsumed by different parts of the college or spun off into autonomous entities.
Global activities
Notwithstanding its Pittsburgh grounds, Carnegie Mellon has a branch grounds in the Middle East, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, which offers a full undergrad educational modules with degree programs in software engineering, business organization, science, computational science, and data frameworks. It additionally has graduate-level augmentation grounds in Mountain View, California in the heart of Silicon Valley (offering experts programs in Software Engineering and Software Management). The Tepper School of Business keeps up a satellite focus in downtown Manhattan and the Heinz College keeps up one in Adelaide, Australia. The Heinz College, the Institute for Politics and Strategy, and the Department of Engineering and Public Policy host focuses in Washington, DC as a component of degree projects, exploration, and government issues activities and also being a part of the University of California, Washington Center. Carnegie Mellon additionally settled the Integrative Media Program at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, New York. Carnegie Mellon additionally keeps up the Carnegie Mellon Los Angeles Center in North Hollywood, California where understudies in the Master of Entertainment Industry Management project are required to move to Los Angeles in their second year and go to classes at this office. Carnegie Mellon's Information Networking Institute offers graduate projects in Athens, Greece and Kobe, Japan, in a joint effort with Athens Information Technology and the Hyogo Institute of Information Education Foundation, separately. In the fall of 2007, the urban areas of Aveiro and Lisbon, Portugal were added to the Information Networking Institute's remote areas. The Institute for Software Research International (ISRI) offers graduate projects in Coimbra, Portugal. The Entertainment Technology Center offers graduate projects in Portugal, Japan, and Singapore. The Human-Computer Interaction Institute offers a graduate degree in conjunction with the University of Madeira, in Portugal. The College of Engineering has a universal area in Kigali, Rwanda offering the Master of Science in Information Technology and the Master of Science in Electrical and Compute
