Tepper School of Business
In 1900, Andrew Carnegie founded the collection of schools that would later become Carnegie Mellon University. Carnegie, philanthropist and founder of Carnegie Steel, wanted to bring a technical institute to Pittsburgh, so he created the Carnegie Technical Schools. In 1912, the Technical Schools became the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Soon after, in 1917, the Institute awarded the first undergraduate degree in drama in the U.S. A half a century later, the Carnegie Institute of Technology merged with the Mellon Institute, a research center, giving the school its current name.

The Graduate School of Industrial Management (GSIA)—now called the Tepper School of Business—was founded in 1949. William Larimer, chairman of Gulf Oil, created the endowment that got the school started. In 1955, GSIA became the country's first business program to use computers for teaching and research. The business school went on to produce six Nobel prize winners, along with many other successful graduates. The school now has an alumni network of about 9,000. GSIA was renamed in 2004 after David Tepper—founder of hedge fund firm Appaloosa Management and 1982 GSIA MBA graduate—donated $55 million.

Tepper emphasizes an interdisciplinary curriculum and the use of advanced technology in its top-ranked undergraduate and graduate business programs. The school also stays relatively small to maintain a low student-faculty ratio. There are, on average, just 35 students in a core MBA class, creating a comfortable but rigorous learning environment. As one graduate noted in a BusinessWeek survey, "Tepper is an intense experience, and the people here are among the friendliest, most team-oriented people I have ever worked with."

Along with a full-time MBA, a master's degree in computational finance, a doctorate, and undergraduate business programs, Tepper also offers a mini-MBA. This miniaturized business program divides the academic year into four semesters. Each mini-semester is just seven-and-a-half weeks long—half the length of a normal semester. Students take four or five classes each semester, adding up to about 32 courses by the end of the accelerated program.

MBAs: Before and After
Tepper students come from diverse academic backgrounds. When they begin at Tepper, students have nearly five years of work experience. The majority of MBA students major in science and engineering as undergraduates, and 17% major in business or accounting.

At graduation, Tepper students go on to pursue a wide range of careers. The most popular industries for recent grads are financial services and consulting, with technology a close third. The average salary for recent Tepper MBA graduates is $103,012, with an average signing bonus of $22,625.

Diversity
Tepper abides by the same diversity statement—presented in 2001 by the president of Carnegie Mellon—that guides the rest of the university. The school believes diversity is important to both its spirit and growth.

One-fifth of the MBA student body is women, 23% are from outside the U.S., and among U.S. students, 25% are Asian-American. Tepper aims for diversity in its undergraduate program, too: More than half the students are women, and among U.S. students minorities—predominantly Asian-Americans—account for 48% of the class.

The Undergraduate Business Program
Undergraduates studying business declare both a track and a minor in business. The track allows for specialization in a specific subject, and the minor gives breadth to each student's individual course of study. There are eight tracks to choose from, including finance, general management, marketing, and others.

Business administration and supply chain management are the only minors within the Tepper School curriculum. But undergrads can declare a minor outside the business program and take classes at Carnegie Mellon's other schools, such as the Mellon College of Science and the College of Fine Arts.

Meeting, Eating, and Relaxing
The University Center is Carnegie Mellon's version of a student union. It opened in 1996 as part of the school's "New Campus Plan" and has eateries, a movie theater, and fitness facilities.

Student clubs can use the Center for group meetings, and non-Carnegie Mellon organizations can hold conferences there.

Pittsburgh
Carnegie Mellon's campus is connected to a 100-acre park filled with rolling hills and hiking trails. Both Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh are in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood. The city is home to about 86,000 college students, who can take advantage of everything the city has to offer, including professional sports, a zoo, and many museums and parks.

Hunt Library
The Hunt Library opened in 1960 after Roy and Rachel Hunt donated $2.8 million for the project. It has more than 60,000 volumes on business and economics, along with business magazines and journals.

The library's fourth floor holds the 10,000 texts that make up the university's fine and rare books collection, which includes originals of Copernicus' earth-shattering book on heliocentric theory from 1543, "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres." The library is topped off (literally) with the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation in its penthouse.

Visiting Speakers
Tepper students often hear from CEOs and management experts as part of the school's various speaker series. The W.L. Mellon Speakers, for instance, brings in CEOs and business executives, and the MSCF Speaker Series brings in other influential business leaders. Recent MSCF speakers include Emad M. Mahmoud, investment senior vice-president at Prudential, and David Sylvan, senior vice-president at KeyBanc Capital Markets. Pictured above is Jeffrey R. Immelt, CEO of General Electric.

Smart and Experienced Professors
Tepper's faculty members have received wide acclaim for their research, which spans the business and economic spectrum. Of Tepper's 140 faculty members, 52 are tenured, and most have PhDs. The school has also produced six Nobel prize winners in economics: Robert Lucas, Merton Miller, Franco Modigliani, Herb Simon, Edward Prescott, and Finn Kydland.

Ambitious Students, Confident Alumni
Dean Ken Dunn, pictured above, emphasizes Tepper's preference for students who want to be challenged and aren't afraid of risk. Before Dunn became dean in 2002, he managed fixed-income portfolios.

The confidence Tepper instills in its students is evidenced by the school's successful alumni, many of whom have gone on to become innovative entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 CEOs, including Francisco D'Souza, CEO of Cognizant.

Business Plan Competitions
Grad students participate in several business plan competitions during their time at the school. Carnegie Mellon graduate students have won the Moot Corp Competition five times in the contest's 25-year history. The most recent winners were a PhD candidate at the College of Engineering and a Tepper MBA candidate. The students' venture business, NeuroBank, developed a technology to harvest neurological stem cells from cerebrospinal fluid. The team received $25,000 in cash and $100,000 in prizes, along with a year of business consulting.

Chow Time
The undergraduate and graduate business programs are housed in Posner Hall, a center of activity on campus. A 1993 addition brought technologically equipped classrooms and lecture halls to the building. And in 2000, Posner gained a third story.

Besides its business facilities, Posner also houses Ginger's, the most popular of the school's 20 on-campus eateries. Students can choose from a wide variety of food—there's everything from sushi to Indian food to Kosher options.

chemistry maybe? lol~ i've visited some other schoos like hbs stanford mit chicago, but it's so weird that i have no feelings for them... they are all GREAT schools though, i guess they are just not THE ONE for me...

well in terms of academics, i'm seeking for a program that has strengths in both Entrepreneurship and Finance. for that matter, anderson beats several other giants and stands out. plus, its fancy location in LA and beckoning south california weather are just irresistable!

and after learning more n more abt its culture and the experiences of my former colleagues, now anderson students, i decide that it really fits my personality, so UCLA has officially been on the very top of my list...

dream schoooool aaaaah!
