Where's the Class of 2016?
Our multidisciplinary approach to solving real-world problems, an equal commitment to both undergraduate and graduate education and a demand that our faculty be excellent teachers as well as pioneering researchers. Known for its interdisciplinary culture, the Dietrich College encourages students to research and collaborate with faculty and fellow students throughout the college and Carnegie Mellon. This allows students to learn how to solve complex problems outside of the confines of one discipline.
