Duquesne University Athletics

Located on the Bluff with picturesque views of the city, Duquesne is positioned in the heart of Pittsburgh. Over the last five years, Pittsburgh's reputation and prestige has been on the rise.
 
A city that was once known for its steel mills and manufacturing prowess, Pittsburgh is now gaining recognition for its food scene, its career opportunities for young professionals and its overall livability. From the outside looking in, the city of Pittsburgh boasts all the benefits of larger cities like Chicago and New York – fervent sports fans, a growing economy and job prospects, a thriving restaurant scene and plenty of off-campus activities – without the drawbacks.
 
Even as the city evolves, one thing remains constant: Pittsburgh is first and foremost a sports town. You'll be hard pressed to find a city more passionate or devoted to their teams, and the Dukes fans are no exception.
 
Pittsburgh's many attractions, coffee shops, restaurants and businesses paired with the University's academic record, offers prospective student-athletes a complete college experience that is hard to replicate.
