Academic Previews

Fall 2008

As a prospective student to the University of Pittsburgh, you may wish to "sit in" on a class during your visit to campus. Please, be our guest!

The following is a list of classes that University professors have agreed to allow prospective students to sample.

PLEASE NOTE that classes do not meet on Monday, September 1 (Labor Day), Monday, October 13 (Fall Break), and Wednesday, November 26 through Friday, November 28 (Thanksgiving Break). Due
to Fall Break, classes normally scheduled to meet Monday, October 13 will meet on Tuesday, October 14. Tuesday classes will not meet this week.


The last day for undergraduate summer classes is Friday, December 5.

If you take advantage of this opportunity, please be sensitive to the following:
  • Do not disrupt the class in any way.
  • On some days, examinations will be administered. We have no way of monitoring that schedule and suggest that you quietly leave the class if this is the case.
Thank you for your interest in the University of Pittsburgh. We hope that you will enjoy exploring our wide variety of academic offerings.
