Mellon College of Science

The Mellon Institute of Industrial Research is one of the principal facilities of the Mellon College of Science

The Mellon College of Science (MCS) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA houses the Chemistry, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, and Biological Sciences departments. In addition, it oversees several interdisciplinary research centers. MCS also awards the Dickson Prize in Science. The college is named for the Mellon family, founders of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, a predecessor of Carnegie Mellon University.

The college offers various bachelor, master, and doctorate programs.

Note: While the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition is actually in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Center (which is also a faculty-appointing institute) has close ties to the Mellon College of Science
