About Tepper School of Business

The Tepper School’s legacy is tied to our pioneering work in management science - today nearly all leading B-schools include some form of the Carnegie Mellon management science model in their curriculum. A decidedly small school within a research university, we are a conservatory of innovation, fostering partnerships amongst students and faculty in other schools and centers throughout campus. As one of the most technologically elite universities in the world, the dedication to cutting edge learning and application underlies all that we do – with an approach that allows our students to make a significant impact.
