The Chinese Student & Scholar Association in Carnegie Mellon University (CMU-CSSA) is a student organization of about 300 members, most of whom are graduate students with Chinese heritage. It seeks to help new students start their lives in Pittsburgh, build a better community for Chinese students and scholars and contribute as a multicultural student organization at Carnegie Mellon. CMU-CSSA's business is operated by a committee on behalf of all members. The Constitution of the organization is available here.

By Fall 2006, there are 298 CMU students from mainland China, including 276 graduate students and 15 undergraduate students, which makes up 13.6 percent of the international students.
