Why Carnegie Mellon for Science
Innovative Curriculum
The Mellon College of Science core curriculum is full of courses that provide in-depth scientific training. The curriculum also provides flexibility. Students can explore a broad set of subjects that interest them, and, at the same time, develop different ways of thinking and acting. Core courses also focus on giving students a deep appreciation for the arts, their own personal wellness and the value of engaging with the local and global community.
