Tepper School of Business

Our faculty, graduates and students have an intellectual advantage that is based on a powerful combination: leadership and analytics. Today’s global market poses exciting challenges that require an unprecedented level of leadership, and success in business requires an exceptional analytical base. As technology and globalization continue to grow and shape the marketplace, executives are called upon to solve problems that have never been seen before. It’s the ability to keep ahead of the speed and complexity of the market that distinguishes our graduates. In 1949, it was the Tepper School of Business that first recognized the need for a business program that would equip students with the fundamental tools and knowledge to be effective leaders in uncertain, rapidly changing markets. We introduced the field of management science, an analytical approach to problem solving and decision making. Today, this academic model can be seen in business schools throughout the world. Both Carnegie Mellon University and the Tepper School are leaders in leveraging a small class size and vast intellectual capital to create an exceptional academic experience. Our undergraduate business program is the smallest of the Top 10 business programs; our MBA program is the smallest of the Top 20; and our Ph.D. program admits less than 20 students each year so that our faculty-to-student ratio remains among the best.
