About

History

Robert Morris University was founded in 1921 in downtown Pittsburgh as the Pittsburgh School of Accountancy. The school’s founder, educator and accountant Andrew Blass, rented classroom space in the Blackstone Building. In 1935, the institution changed its name to the Robert Morris School of Business in honor of the Founding Father popularly known as the "financier of the American Revolution."

Pros and Cons
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

I really liked the fact that teachers were getting involved in any matters that the students had. However, what I didn't liked about it was prices overall such as book expenses, courses expenses etc.
