History & Fun Facts

  • " In 1942, the Robert Morris School moved to the William Penn Hotel to accommodate its growing enrollment, and in 1959 purchased its own Downtown building at 600 Fifth Ave.
  • The first new buildings on the Moon Township campus, Franklin Center and three residence halls, were erected in 1963.
  • The school became Robert Morris College in 1969 when it began offering bachelor's degrees in business administration.
  • The first graduate students were admitted in 1978 for master's degree programs in business administration, taxation, and business teacher education; the first doctoral program was offered in 1999.
  • In 2002, the school attained university status and was thus renamed Robert Morris University.
