The Tepper School of Business, located at the heart of Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, PA, is consistently ranked among the top business schools in the world. The school’s legacy is closely tied to our pioneering work in introducing management science to the marketplace and B-school arena. More than 60 years ago, the school’s leadership brought forth their vision of a better way to succeed in business. Management science – the academic alternative to the case study method – has its roots in analytical decision making in complex, dynamic business environments. Its prevalence and popularity has had sweeping effects – today, nearly all leading B-schools include some form of the Carnegie Mellon management science model in their curriculum. A commitment to knowledge discovery via interdisciplinary collaboration is at the heart of our academic philosophy. As a decidedly small school housed within a decidedly small research university, we are a conservatory of innovation. The linkages across campus are numerous and an inherent part of our culture. Partnerships that would be considered unconventional at other schools are what we do best. Tepper students partner with students, professors and researchers in other schools and centers, such as engineering, robotics, biotechnology and life sciences, product design and computer science. SPECIALTIES Accounting, Economics, Financial Economics, Information Systems, Manufacturing and Operating Systems, Marketing, Operations Research as well as Organizational Behavior and Theory DEGREE PROGRAMS Undergraduate Business Undergraduate Economics MBA MSBA - Business Analytics MSPM - Product Management MSCF - Computational Finance MIIPS - Integrated Innovation for Products & Services Doctoral programs in Accounting, Economics, Financial Economics, Information Systems, Manufacturing and Operating Systems, Marketing, Operations Research as well as Organizational Behavior and Theory Executive Education Certification
