Welcome, Tartan!

The amazing you is now a CMU-Q you. Congratulations and welcome to Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar!

You're One of a Kind.
And It Takes All Kinds.

Tartans know that doing is the best part of being. That dreams are the best part of reality — a reality that challenges us to give our best and take it to the limit. We’re listeners and proclaimers and thinkers and solvers. We’re reliably unpredictable. And we’re stubbornly open-minded.

We are Tartans, and now so are you.

You're almost there
