History
After years of planning from the Pittsburgh campus, CMU West opened in September 2002 to an original class of 56 students. Jim Morris, the Dean of the School of Computer Science at the Pittsburgh campus, was instrumental in establishing the West Coast initiative and served as the new campus' first Dean.
Location CMU West is located on NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field. The campus (or in particular Moffett Field), is surrounded by high-tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, HP, and Lockheed Martin. CMU West currently occupies only building 23, though future plans are calling for an expansion of the campus to other buildings[citation needed].

Programs While CMU West is currently phasing out the long-distance capability to Pittsburgh's Tepper School of Business, the west campus is now mostly known for its part-time, two-year Masters programs in Software Engineering and Software Management [3]. The Software Engineering Masters is divided into a Technical Track, aimed at advancing software developers to senior positions and architect roles, and the Development Management Track, aimed at providing software developers with technical project management and development management skills. The Software Management Masters program, on the other hand, targets senior software developers and managers that wish to pursue senior management and executive careers. The Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, consistently ranks among the top business schools in the world[4][5]. It is also consistently among the leaders in a wide range of specializations, such as Finance, Entrepreneurship, Operations Management and Information Technology. ...

The programs differ from traditional software programs through their project and simulation-based curriculum. Instead of attending classes and taking exams, students are expected to work in close teams along with team advisors and faculty in an environment that closely resembles the industry. [4] For instance, professors often act as the VP of Engineering/Marketing of a fictitious company, while students gather and negotiate requirements, plan software development cycles and deliver products throughout the course.
At the end of the two year (six semesters) program, students are then expected to apply their skills and knowledge to a practicum that involves a real project negotiated with high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. A view of downtown San Jose, the self-proclaimed Capital of Silicon Valley. ...
Student Population Approximately 150 students are enrolled in CMU West's part-time program. With its strong technical support for long-distance learning, a significant portion of the student population reside outside of the Bay Area. However, with its unique location in Silicon Valley, many local students stem from prominent companies such as Yahoo, Google, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Oracle, Boeing and Microsoft, providing a vibrant environment with many diverse corporate experiences. Bay Area is a common term to refer to a metropolitan area situated around a bay. ...
