Data Sources:

Unless otherwise noted, all data used for the student section of this book are from the Student Information System (SIS). Enrollment summaries include headcounts and full­time equivalency (FTE) totals for all students actively enrolled at Carnegie Mellon as of the last fiscal day of September. Degree summaries include degrees awarded during an entire academic year.

Admission Activity: Undergraduate Admission Office

Athletics : Department of Athletics

National Average SAT Scores: www.collegeboard.org

Post-graduation Data: Career and Professional Development Center

Study Abroad: Office of International Education

Undergraduate Research: Undergraduate Research Office

Definitions:

Student Levels:

Undergraduate: Students enrolled as first­year, sophomore, junior, senior, or fifth­year students

Graduate: Students enrolled in Master's or Doctoral programs

Other: Students who are not enrolled in a university degree program

Citizenship and Race Categories:

International: Students who are neither citizens nor permanent residents of the United States, regardless of the country in which their Carnegie Mellon University program is located

US Citizens and Permanent Residents self -identify from among these categories: American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and White

Multiracial: Students who identify as more than one race are reported as multiracial (minority) if any race is American Indian, Black, or Hispanic; and multiracial (majority) if no race is American Indian, Black, or Hispanic

Minority: Students who identify as American Indian, Black, or Hispanic are reported as minority students

Female and Minority Students: These counts are not mutually exclusive; for example, a Hispanic female is counted as both a female and a minority

Enrollment by Location of Study: These tables contain the enrollment of students by their physical location of study for all of Carnegie Mellon’s Middle States approved branch campuses, additional locations, and other instructional sites. This classification differs from others in the Enrollment section in that it categorizes students by their location, rather than by their home college/department. For example, a student who has a home college of Qatar, but who is studying at the Pittsburgh campus on the last fiscal day of September will be classified as location of Pittsburgh, PA and home college of Qatar.

Academic Year (Degrees Awarded): Includes three semesters in the following order: fall, spring, and summer

Branch Campuses: Includes students enrolled at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar and Silicon Valley

Headcount: Each student, full­ or part­time, is counted once

Full-time Equivalent (FTE): Each full­time student is counted once; part­time students are counted based on the percentage of full­time tuition paid

Undeclared: Student is enrolled in that college but has not yet declared a major
