Pitt offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs across 17 schools and colleges, including the School of Medicine, Swanson School of Engineering, and Katz Graduate School of Business. The university is recognized for its high research activity, contributing to significant medical breakthroughs and maintaining strong collaborations with UPMC. With over 28,000 students, Pitt also has a vibrant student life, competing in NCAA Division I athletics as the Pitt Panthers and engaging in community traditions and events. The university plays a vital role in regional development through economic contributions and public health initiatives.
