World-Renowned Carnegie Mellon Faculty

Hanna Wu Li

At Carnegie Mellon, our emphasis is not only to attract the best and the brightest students, but to attract and retain faculty all-stars. With more than 1,400 full and part-time teaching and research faculty members and a student-to-faculty ratio of 10:1, you have the opportunity to learn from world-renowned faculty – the best in the business. We're proud to say that approximately 96% of our faculty members have a Ph.D. or equivalent, and that our faculty is award-winning and have been recognized by professional societies across the board.

And Carnegie Mellon faculty are known to be accessible – from weekly office hours to answering emails and phone calls in the middle of the night.

So are you familiar with the Grammys? The National Book Awards? How about the National Academy of Sciences or Engineering? Carnegie Mellon faculty members have received recognition in each of the above including the Turing Awards – the “Nobel Prize of the computing world” – and more.
