Community

Pitt State is located in Pittsburg, Kansas — a thriving, innovative community of makers, dreamers, and people known for working together to get things done. Gorilla statues are in lawns and in front of businesses. The splitface logo is on banners, windows, and license plates. Big-city amenities blend with the charm and pace of a small town. Once you visit, you'll want to return. And, like many, you might want to stay.
