Regional Campuses: Enriching Pennsylvania
The University of Pittsburgh’s regional campuses connect students and families to a world-class education in a small-town environment. Along the way, these campuses also fuel local economies and businesses, lift up first-generation college students, sustain a rich cultural life and create a well-educated workforce. So many Pennsylvanians love their hometowns, and Pitt’s regional campuses allow them to stay, grow and leverage their skills and talents to help their communities thrive.
Preparing the Workforce
Pitt-Bradford and Pitt-Titusville are ever-evolving to produce graduates whose skills match the needs of local employers. And evolving the right way requires close partnerships with local businesses like Keystone Powdered Metal, Zippo Manufacturing, Upper Allegheny Health System and more.
Evolving for Impact
Pitt-Johnstown and Pitt-Titusville contribute to their campus communities through jobs, resources and—most importantly—by connecting local students to opportunities close to home. The curriculum is similarly designed to bridge gaps—especially gaps in local talent, employment and industry opportunities.
Transforming Lives
Pitt’s regional campuses can serve as the first step toward a fulfilling career in Pennsylvania.
