The University of Pittsburgh at Titusville (Pitt-Titusville) seeks applicants interested in building a strong academic foundation in a personalized campus setting. University programs focus on the first two years of college and prepare students for direct career entry upon completion of associate degrees or successful relocation and completion of four-year, baccalaureate degree programs.

Each application to Pitt-Titusville is evaluated individually by the Admissions Committee. In addition to scholastic achievement, the Committee considers co- and extracurricular involvement, leadership, special interests and talents, performance on college entrance examinations, personal motivation, and perceived ability for success at Pitt-Titusville . The Admissions Committee seeks to identify and admit candidates who will benefit from and contribute to the diversity of the Pitt-Titusville student body.

Any student with a high school diploma or its equivalent may apply for admission to an associate degree program at Pitt-Titusville.
