Expansion and Merger

Over the next five decades, Carnegie Tech became well-known not only for its engineering and science programs, but also for its progressive programs in drama and fine arts. This recognition as an academically prominent institution set the stage for merging with Mellon Institute, a private applied research institute. Out of this 1967 union, Carnegie Mellon emerged as one of the United State's most prestigious research universities.
