Carnegie Mellon University is a private research university located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was formed in 1967 by the union of the Carnegie Institute of Technology (which was "Carnegie Technical Schools" until 1912), founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie, and the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, founded in 1917 by Richard Beatty Mellon. The school is often referred to as CMU by students, staff, alumni, and locals. Carnegie Mellon is home to the first drama degree program in the nation (1910). The drama program and the computer science programs are considered to be among the best in their fields. Carnegie Mellon's engineering, business, and public policy schools are also consistently ranked highly. Other strong departments include Social and Decision Sciences, Economics, Psychology, Art, and Music. CMU is famous for its unique interdisciplinary environment and as an innovative leader in education. CMU is affiliated with 13 Nobel Laureates across multiple disciplines.
