Academics
General Education courses
Carnegie Mellon University follows a distinct approach to undergraduate education that combines professional training with a firm grounding in the liberal arts and sciences. Students who have a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences learn how to draw connections between disciplines and work effectively outside their focused area of study.
The General Education department offers courses in a wide range of academic areas including Arabic studies, chemistry, design, English, history, math and physics.
