Resources for Students

There are so many opportunities available to you as part of the SIS and University of Pittsburgh communities. Pitt is ranked among the top 25 public universities in The Top American Research Universities. The institution is a member of the American Association of Universities, a prestigious organization of 62 leading doctorate-granting research institutions in the United States and Canada.

Pitt and SIS are located in Pittsburgh, PA, which is home to many headquarters for major corporations—and home to such major arts organizations as the world renown Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
