Tepper School of Business

The Tepper School of Business is a private business school located on Carnegie Mellon University’s 140-acre campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US. The school consistently ranks highly among the top business schools in the U.S., as well as in a wide range of specializations, such as finance, entrepreneurship, operations management and information technology. The school offers degrees from the undergraduate through doctoral levels, in addition to executive education programs. Prior to the founding of the Tepper School, management education typically used the case method approach... popularized at the Harvard Business School, based upon widely accepted examples from successful companies and microeconomic theory. Although the Tepper School did not entirely abandon those traditional models and theories, it has focused on management science, or decision making based on quantitative models and an analytical approach to decision making and problem solving. Today, the Tepper School is known for its strong emphasis on quantitative skills and its continued teaching of courses based upon the science of management.
