The University of Pittsburgh is home to students who arrive with ambition and leave with purpose. Across our 16 schools, we offer a breadth of undergraduate and graduate programs designed to meet students where their interests are and challenge them to go further — supported by faculty who are leaders in their fields and invested in student success.
A Pitt education is about more than a degree. We are committed to developing graduates who communicate with clarity, act with responsibility, and engage thoughtfully with the world around them. That commitment shows up in the classroom, in research labs, in community partnerships, and in the remarkable things our alumni go on to accomplish.
Our students have earned Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater, Fulbright, Beinecke, Gilman and Udall Scholarships. Our faculty and alumni have been recognized with Nobel Prizes and Pulitzer Prizes. And every day, across every discipline, Pitt students and scholars are doing work that matters — on campus, in Pittsburgh, and beyond.
The Undergraduate Studies team in the Office of the Provost provides resources to help all students engage in the University community. We are committed to student success, reducing gaps for students, and empowering our students to lead lives of self-determined impact.
