Founded in 1787 as a small, private school, the Pittsburgh Academy was located in a log cabin near Pittsburgh?s three rivers.

Today, the University of Pittsburgh system consists of the 132-acre Pittsburgh campus and regional campuses in Bradford, Greensburg, Johnstown, and Titusville. The University?s 12,000 employees, including 3,800 full-time faculty members, serve about 34,000 students through the programs of 15 undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools.
