Carnegie Mellon University is a private, global research university founded by world-renowned industrialist Andrew Carnegie. Represented by more than 100 countries, Carnegie Mellon’s global presence expands to locations such as Australia and Qatar. The university offers programs from seven schools and colleges to a student body of more than 14,500 students. The Pittsburgh-based institution boasts notable accomplishments within its arts and science disciplines and serves as a leading hub for cybersecurity, developed the world's first university robotics department, and was the first school in the U.S. to award a degree in drama. Students can benefit from the Pittsburgh scene, through residential life, community service, and career development opportunities. Outside of academics, students can also participate in a number of campus traditions like enjoying the kilt-wearing “Kiltie Band,” or visiting The Fence—once known as the “most painted object in the world" until 1993 by the Guinness Book of World Records. Carnegie Mellon maintains an impressive alumni network, producing 20 Nobel Laureates. Other notable alumni include Duolingo CEO and co-founder Luis von Ahn, visual artist Andy Warhol, and James Gosling, inventor of the Java computer programming language.
