Diversity at Carnegie Mellon
Our goal within the university is to create an atmosphere that cultivates a sense of community while also embracing each student’s individuality. Students at Carnegie Mellon represent all fifty states and over forty-five nations. Needless to say, Carnegie Mellon students embody a wide array of backgrounds and cultures.
An integral part of the Carnegie Mellon experience is the strength that we exemplify through the diversity of our students’ experiences. Our goal is to acknowledge and respect the attributes each student brings to the university because of their specific background, culture and individual interests. We encourage the array of student experiences to serve as a backdrop upon which to build a campus community.
Rather than act as a divisive force, we encourage cultural differences to serve as a meeting ground that fosters cultural awareness and respect for one another. The education students receive at Carnegie Mellon extends beyond their academic pursuits. Living and studying in a diverse environment allows students to integrate a social and cultural element into their academic education. We hope to provide opportunities for students to become global citizens who can assimilate into a variety of cultural and social environments.
