Overview
University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg is an open admission public four-year institution in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. The school accepts most applicants who complete the application process.
Admission Guide
University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg uses a rolling admissions process, so you can submit your application anytime after it opens in August, though applying early gives you better access to housing and financial aid. You need to submit the Common Application, official high school transcripts, and SAT or ACT scores through the main University of Pittsburgh application portal.
While the campus admits most applicants, the nursing program operates with limited capacity and fills quickly. If you want to pursue nursing, apply as early as possible in the fall. The education and business programs also have specific prerequisite requirements you should review before enrolling in courses.
Housing fills on a first-come, first-served basis after you submit your enrollment deposit. The campus requires all first-year students to live on campus unless you live within commuting distance with family. You can choose between traditional residence halls and suite-style living in the newer buildings.
This branch campus operates differently from the main Pittsburgh campus. You take smaller classes taught by professors rather than graduate students, and you can complete your entire degree here or transfer to another Pitt campus after two years. The campus sits on 219 acres in a suburban setting about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, giving you access to both outdoor activities and city internships.
Plan to attend summer orientation, which covers course registration and campus resources. You register for classes during orientation, so research your intended major's requirements beforehand. The campus offers strong support services including tutoring and career counseling, which many students use given the close-knit environment.
