Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon University, usually abbreviated CMU, is a private research university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Andrew Carnegie established it in 1900 as the Carnegie Technical Schools; it became the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912, when it began granting four-year degrees, and took its present name in 1967 through a merger with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. The university has seven colleges, among them engineering, computer science, humanities and social sciences, and business, and its main campus lies five miles from downtown Pittsburgh. It also has degree-granting locations on six continents and in 2022 enrolled 15,818 students from 117 countries. In this atlas it appears as the academic home of Daniel Nagin, a leading scholar of criminal deterrence and of group-based trajectory modeling.
