The University of Pittsburgh, founded in 1787, is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States. As one of the nation's distinguished comprehensive universities, the resources of the University constitute an invaluable asset for the intellectual, economic and social enrichment of the City of Pittsburgh and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, while being recognized internationally as a top research university.
