The University of Pittsburgh, commonly referred to as Pitt, is an independent,
state-related, doctoral/research
university in
Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania,
United States. Pitt is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States. Founded as Pittsburgh Academy in
1787 on what was then the American frontier, Pitt evolved into the Western University of Pennsylvania with an alteration to its charter in
1819. Upon relocating to its current campus in the
Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, the school received its current moniker, the University of Pittsburgh, with a
1908 charter alteration. For most of its history, Pitt was a private institution until it became part of the
Commonwealth System of Higher Education in 1966.
