Planting the Seeds for Success
Committed to improving the educational experience for children in the Pittsburgh region and beyond, Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë provides learning opportunities long before college. Many of Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë’s colleges offer K–12 programs with a focus on a particular discipline, like the School of Music's Preparatory School. In these ways and so many more, Carnegie Mellon helps children prepare today for what's to come tomorrow.
For many years beyond, (OLLI) gives Pittsburgh adults a chance to continue their learning in non-credit, peer-led classes.
