We also offer two groundbreaking Joint Degree Programs with the CMU College of Fine Arts. Our faculty and students know that exciting things happen when disciplines collide, when differing perspectives come into contact with one another. Data is everywhere. At Heinz College, our faculty, students, and alumni use data analytics and advanced technologies to study and solve societal scale problems. We work to enhance the public good by tackling critical problems such as: Blocking the financing of terrorism and human trafficking; predicting societal impacts of legal cannabis; combating the opioid crisis through smart countermeasures; innovating in transportation to help lower income citizens connect to jobs; protecting critical IT networks from cyber intrusion; reducing homicide rates using machine learning; thwarting piracy of digital media; mapping the safest routes to school for children in high crime areas; eradicating food waste and hunger with mobile technology, and much more. Technology for driving business value. These days, it’s not enough to simply know how technology works. Creating real value from technology requires a thorough understanding of interactions with business processes and organizational culture. Our School of Information Systems and Management curriculum stands alone because we integrate these disciplines into a coherent program of study. There’s a reason our graduates command extraordinary salaries. Businesses need translators. People with both deep technology skills and the savvy to lead the change that technology offers. Our degree programs train students to think, create, and translate.
