| The University of Pittsburgh at
Titusville was established in 1963 in response to a long recognized need
for higher educational opportunities in the Oil Creek Valley.
Efforts to open some type of campus began as early as 1957 and became a
reality in early 1963 with Pitt's decision to provide the regional
campus. |
|
|
|
|
|
Following a successful fund raising campaign, UPT began classes in the
Fall of 1963 in the McKinney Mansion, the current administration
building. Joe M. Ball, a University of Pittsburgh administrator, was
named the first President and served in that capacity until his
retirement in 1986. The first entering class numbered some 75 students
with 10 faculty members. McKinney and the adjacent carriage
house were remolded to provide classroom, office and library space. |

| Titusville is a
small city in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains with a
distinctive place in world history. Colonel Edwin L. Drake drilled
the first commercial oil well here in 1859, making Titusville the
birthplace of the oil industry. Located about 40 miles south of
Erie and 90 miles north of Pittsburgh, Titusville is a gateway to
outdoor recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, boating,
swimming, canoeing, skiing, golfing, hiking, biking, and horseback
riding. Just minutes form campus, for example, is Oil Creek State
Park, which covers 6,400 acres and offers a 10-mile paved bike
path. Though small, Titusville is large enough to offer a variety
of stores, banks, churches, restaurants, and lodging facilities. |
