Campus Review
Aside from the largest University of Pittsburgh campus located in the city of Pittsburgh, there are 4 regional campuses that you should explore before applying to see if a smaller or more rural environment would better suit your needs. Pitt is a world renowned university, a major center of teaching and learning, research and medicine and the degrees that we confer, offered at all five campuses, carry that recognition with them. The same philosophy, strengths, and international reputation are available at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, Greensburg, Johnstown, and Titusville.
