Studying at Carnegie Mellon University – Australia is not just about obtaining a masters degree – it’s about becoming part of the Carnegie Mellon ethos of trying to improve the world. It is an ethos that has its roots in the founding of the University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

In 1900 philanthropist Andrew Carnegie established a technical school for the children of steel workers. Carnegie wanted a school where students could gain practical, applied knowledge that would improve their own lives and communities.

As the Carnegie Institute of Technology, the school became prominent as a technical and � ne arts school and in 1967 ‘Carnegie Tech’ merged with the Mellon Institute, a science research centre, to become Carnegie Mellon University. Today, Carnegie Mellon University is made up of seven Colleges: the Carnegie Institute of Technology; the College of Fine Arts; College of Humanities and Social Sciences;the Tepper School of Business; the Mellon College of Science; the School of Computer Science; and theH. John Heinz III College.

� e H. John Heinz III College at Carnegie Mellon is founded on the proposition that the study of public policy

and of information technology, independently and jointly, provides a uniquely powerful platform from which to in� uence the world of the 21st Century. We are the only academic institution in the world that pursues this goal through a uni� ed faculty that comprises social science, management and information technology in roughly equal parts. It is our mission to utilise the research and education this platform enables to have a positive in� uence on the evolution of societies, economic systems, organisations and individual lives around the world.

THE CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY STORY

Welcome to the H. John Heinz III College at Carnegie Mellon University - Australia. The School of Public Policy and Management and the School of Information Systems and Management at the College have world-class reputations.
