Dean’s Message

As we celebrate our 220th anniversary, the University of Pittsburgh is keeping great company by building on its institution-wide strengths. In 2007, only nine universities produced both Rhodes and Marshall Scholars. It should come as no surprise that Pitt was one of those nine, and the only public university to claim this high honor.

Leadership and Service

We in the Arts and Sciences believe that every student in our school has the responsibility to use her or his Pitt degree to become an engaged citizen. We also believe that the breadth of a liberal arts education best informs the next generation of visionary leaders in society. Becoming involved in our community is an excellent step to hone your leadership and service skills. We also offer a leadership certificate for students interested in developing their strategic planning, people management, and communication skills.
