The Tepper School of Business is a private business school located on Carnegie Mellon University’s 140 acre campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Tepper School consistently ranks highly among the top business schools in the world as well as in a wide range of specializations, such as Finance, Entrepreneurship, Operations Management and Information Technology. The school offers degrees from the undergraduate through doctoral levels, in addition to executive education programs.

Prior to the founding of the Tepper School, management education typically used the case method approach popularized at the Harvard Business School, based upon widely accepted examples from successful companies and microeconomic theory. Although the Tepper School did not entirely abandon those traditional models and theories, it gained notoriety for its focus on management science, or decision-making based on quantitative models and an analytic approach to decision making and problem solving. Today, the Tepper School is known for its strong emphasis on quantitative skills and its continued teaching of courses based upon the science of management.

The Tepper School of Business was originally known as The Graduate School of Industrial Administration (GSIA), which was founded in 1949 by William Larimer Mellon. In March 2004, the school received a record $55 million gift from alumnus David Tepper. In recognition of this gift, the school was named the David A. Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon.
