University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg

The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg (UPG) is a baccalaureate degree-granting unit and regional campus of the University of Pittsburgh. As an integral part of a state-related institution- the Greensburg Campus provides educational opportunities to both traditional and nontraditional students through curricular and co-curricular experiences that are focused primarily on the arts and sciences and some selected professional or pre-professional programs that are grounded in traditional liberal arts disciplines. As an undergraduate school within the broader University- UPG’s faculty places primary emphasis on teaching excellence while maintaining a commitment to scholarship and public service. A common part of the undergraduate educational experience is acquiring a certain depth and breadth of knowledge in a specific discipline or area that defines a student’s major focus of study. Equally important is the opportunity for each student to acquire the fundamentals of a liberal arts and sciences education. The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg is committed to a General Education Program that will give its students a broader understanding of the human experience and the fundamental skills necessary for academic success and learning throughout their lifetimes. UPG recognizes that good citizenship- civic leadership- and full participation in an information-based- global society are a function of educational excellence. Accordingly- in all curricular and co-curricular matters- including its unique academic village structure- the Greensburg Campus fulfills its mission by providing its students with opportunities to develop leadership- a sense of civic engagement and public service- global awareness- and a commitment to academic excellence.
