Our "Living Laboratory"....

The University of Pittsburgh - Bradford offers students of the "environment" with an ideal "living laboratory."

Located adjacent to the Allegheny National Forest and situated in the Tunungwant and Allegheny watersheds, Pitt-Bradford sits in the heart of a region that was once both the most active oil-producing and timber-producing region in the world - it is still a region where forestry and the oil industry is very much a part of the landscape.

As such, students and faculty are offered a unique opportunity to explore and research the complex relationships - political, economic, cultural, biological, chemical, geologic, ecological - between humankind and its environment.

The study of these relationships not only provides students with necessary skills that they may apply in other environmental settings, but also helps develop a unique regional "sense of place."
