Peru - iStockCarnegie Mellon University's H. John Heinz III College is committed to creating strong international partnerships, and we have relationships with several organizations and higher education institutions in Latin America. Through these initiatives, we offer scholarships and dual-degree opportunities to more than 50 students from Latin American countries each year.

This is a dual degree program whereby graduates will receive both a masters degree from Carnegie Mellon and a masters degree from Tecnológico de Monterrey.
