Academic Village

Pitt-Greensburg's Academic Village houses the living and learning community for the David C. Frederick Honors College at Pitt-Greensburg (FHC-G). Additionally, students in good academic standing who participate in Pitt-Greensburg's Outside the Classroom Curriculum (OCC) can apply for a limited number of openings each year. A small number of spaces are available for incoming first year students each fall on a first come, first served basis. The Academic Village is the central hub for FHC-G, allowing students to become an integral part of a thriving community of students and faculty members who share common interests in the areas of academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to social good.

Center for Digital Studies

The Center for Digital Studies was established in 2014 as the central hub for digital humanities research and teaching at Pitt-Greensburg. Our representative faculty members are committed to bringing our academic strengths in critical analysis, communication, rhetoric, aesthetics, and historical research to our understanding of computation and digital media, even as we use such tools to enhance the study of human culture.

In practice, the CDS realizes its goals by supporting the study of contemporary subjects, from video games and social media to artificial intelligence. At the same time, the Center aids students and faculty in acquiring digital literacy skills, including text analysis, coding, data visualization, network modeling, digital mapping, web development, and digital storytelling (including audio/video editing, production, and podcasting).
