Heinz College Australia
Across the globe, Heinz College has established a campus in Adelaide, Australia, offering the MSPPM and MSIT degrees. The student exchange agreement between the two campuses will take the form of a "semester abroad" agreement. Students in Australia's MSIT program can apply to study in Pittsburgh for MISM classes; students in Pittsburgh's MISM and MSIT programs could go to Adelaide for classes in their program in MSIT.
For students attending Pittsburgh’s campus, the option to study abroad provides a unique set of opportunities. Heinz College Australia students don't just get a great education - they get to experience a unique lifestyle in a city renowned for its arts and culture, relaxed living and passions for sport and the outdoors. Studying in Adelaide is an easy decision, with its proximity and exposure to one of the fastest developing regions of the world, its low cost of living and beautiful climate, Adelaide is fast becoming known as Australia’s University City.
With small class sizes and international faculty, students enjoy individual attention and a global perspective on their studies. Working with staff and faculty from across the world opens students to alternative ideas and ways of thinking which is transferred to their work environment.
Our campus is located in the heart of Adelaide but is still just a short tram ride to the beautiful Glenelg beach, and drive to the wine regions of the Barossa and McLaren Vale, it is outfitted with state-of-the-art IT facilities, at the same standard as Carnegie Mellon's Pittsburgh campus. The best of both worlds, study at Carnegie Mellon University and live the Australian lifestyle!
For students’ attending the campus in Adelaide, the ability to study abroad in Pittsburgh for a semester enhances their educational experience and broadens their personal and professional network. Adelaide-based MSIT students can apply to study abroad for one semester and enroll in MISM courses at the Pittsburgh campus with the Pittsburgh-based students. Students will register for courses with the program director in Pittsburgh to ensure the most valuable study abroad experience.
Carnegie Mellon’s 103 acre campus is located five miles from downtown Pittsburgh. The city offers many activities and resources to students. Off campus, students can take advantage of the culturally-active neighborhoods within walking distance, the public Schenley Park, urban and suburban shopping and sightseeing, professional sports, museums, art galleries, amusement parks and much more. In addition, the Carnegie Mellon student ID provides access to free public transportation throughout the city.
Downtown Pittsburgh is situated at the intersection of three rivers that are the focus of boating, water-skiing, fishing, rowing regattas, recreation and entertainment. Five universities (including Carnegie Mellon) located within five miles of one another are complemented by an active music and entertainment scene. The city benefits from a legacy of major philanthropy that supports both cultural organizations and one of the most expansive networks of urban parks this side of the Mississippi River, including the Carnegie Mellon campus. The city also lies within 500 miles of nearly half of the population of the United States. Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, New York, and Boston are all easily accessible from one of the most modern international airports in the nation.
