More than 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students at Carnegie Mellon receive an education characterized by its focus on creating and implementing solutions to solve real problems, interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. A small student-to-faculty ratio provides an opportunity for close interaction between students and professors.
The university consists of seven colleges and schools: The Carnegie Institute of Technology (engineering), the College of Fine Arts, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Mellon College of Science, the David A. Tepper School of Business, the School of Computer Science and the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management. Carnegie Mellon also has campuses in California and the Arabian Gulf nation of Qatar and is expanding its international presence in Europe and Asia with master's programs and other educational partnerships.
Carnegie Mellon is one of the most technologically sophisticated campuses in the world. When it introduced its "Andrew" computing network in the mid-1980s, it pioneered educational applications of technology. Today, the university employs a university-wide wireless computing network that allows faculty, staff and students to log on to the Internet and communicate via email from anywhere at any time. Carnegie Mellon was ranked as the nation's "most wired" university by Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine.

ARCS Scholarships. 1 available @ USD 5,000
$5000 of support per year for three years or until the completion of his or her doctoral degree, whichever is sooner. These funds are in addition to any existing stipend and tuition support. ARCS funds are intended to facilitate a student’s completion of graduate study and are, therefore, totally discretionary and may be used by the student for any purpose.
To be eligible to be nominated for and continue to receive an ARCS Scholarship, a student must:
* Be an applicant to a PhD program within an eligible department. (In some cases, an award may be given to a student currently in a PhD program.)
* Be a U.S. Citizen
* Have, at the time of nomination, and maintain throughout the 3 year period, a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5
* Be performing high quality research in an engineering or scienti.c area
* Commit to participate in at least one meeting of the membership and/or the board of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the ARCS Foundation per year and make a presentation on her or his research, if requested
* Acknowledge the ARCS Foundation in any publication related to his/her research
* Maintain contact with the foundation beyond the scholarship years.
* Continuation of support over the three year period is dependent on the student’s maintaining the academic standards listed above and satisfying the other commitments as specified. If an ARCS Scholar does not finish the school year or fails to satisfy the eligibility criteria, the remaining funds will be returned to the ARCS Foundation – Pittsburgh.
