Teaching
Arts and Sciences faculty provide the liberal arts core of a Pitt education through instruction in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences for all students studying for liberal arts degrees at the Oakland campus, including more than 10,000 students registered as Arts and Sciences undergraduate students (many of whom are among the 22 percent of recent entering undergraduates eligible to participate in Honors College programs).
Additionally, the school also is responsible for the liberal arts and natural science components of instruction in the Schools of Nursing, Engineering, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, and Information Sciences, and in the Colleges of Business Administration and General Studies.
We educate 15 percent of the University’s graduate and graduate professional students. The 1,500 students contribute in a major way to the research mission of the University through their individual scholarship and, in some disciplines, through creative participation in research teams led by our faculty.
