Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, Pa.
A major national research university, Carnegie Mellon serves 5,500 undergrads and 3,000 grad students [we would have close to 30,000 combined] in seven colleges reflecting CMU's academic diversity:
Carnegie Institute of Technology (engineering) [we would have the Oregon Institute of Technology], the College of Fine Arts [we have the College of Arts], the College of Humanities and Social Sciences [we would have something similar], the Mellon College of Science [we have the Collaborative Life Sciences], the Tepper School of Business [we have the Karl Miller Center], the School of Computer Science [we have the Meseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science, overlap needs to be reconciled with OIT] and the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management [we have the College of Urban and Public Affairs, Hatfield School of Government].
Students have to apply to specific schools. Last year, CMU received a record 18,864 applications and admitted 6,357. The drama program in the College of Fine Arts has the most competitive admissions; engineering is the most popular major overall, but business is catching up. Students laud Pittsburgh. "We have all the amenities of a nice-sized city, but not the hustle and bustle of a city like Chicago or New York," says Mike Hall, associate director of admission. CMU is known for fostering entrepreneurial spirit: staff, faculty, students and alumni have created or spun off more than 170 companies from the university since 1995. That reflects CMU's sterling academics; 15 faculty members and alumni are Nobel laureates. Overlap schools: Cornell and MIT. Business students sometimes overlap with the University of Pennsylvania, and music students with Juilliard and the Eastman School of Music.
Oregon Tech Arts: The Carnegie-Mellon for the rest of us.
