Carnegie Institute was founded in 1947, Detroit, Michigan. Its license was granted by the Michigan State Department of Education to establish postsecondary education and training for the development of human resources in the allied health support services. The need for trained medical assistants was critical as specialized postsecondary education was nonexistent. Graduating students at Carnegie have externship privileges at more than 300 medical facilities, and rotation privileges at 55 major hospitals in our service areas. We are proud of these historic accomplishments, and of the professional career achievements of Carnegie graduates.
