Carnegie Mellon to Come to Brooklyn Navy Yard

New York City has chosen Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University to bring more tech training to the city under the Applied Sciences NYC competition. 

The Pittsburgh school will locate an integrative media campus at Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard beginning in August, 2015.

The program will matriculate 40 students and 10 additional visiting students annually and include training in film, social media, and interactive computing.

"We believe New York City will be the perfect setting for CMU to provide education in these technology-based modes of expression and production — social media, games, special effects, responsive environments, product design and manufacturing," said CMU's Provost, Mark Kamlet, in a news release.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched the competition to enlist proposals from institutions around the world for new or expanded applied sciences and engineering campuses in the city. Other universities opening campuses in the city include Cornell, NYU and Columbia.
