Robert Morris University (RMU) was founded in 1921 as the Pittsburgh School of Accountancy in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. After occupying several downtown buildings in 1963 the school moved to Pine Hill Manor, an estate purchased form a wealthy local businessman located in the suburb of Moon Township in Pittsburgh. The campus was finished by the end of the 60s and RMU became a four-year college. The university continued to grow, expanding its range of undergraduate courses and adding postgraduate programs in 1977. The institution became Robert Morris University in 2002 and the last decade has seen extensive building work expanding and modernising the campus.

Today RMU is a thriving, coeducational private university with around 5,000 students studying a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications. The university offers more than 60 bachelor¡¯s programs, 20 graduate options and three doctoral-level areas of study.
