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.
