Descrizione dell'università (origine: sito web ufficiale dell'università)
Slippery Rock University opened its doors on March 26, 1889 as Slippery Rock State Normal School.
As one of the largest campuses in western Pennsylvania, SRU is situated on 600 acres in 48 buildings, and is located just 50 minutes north of downtown Pittsburgh. New additions to campus will include a multi-million dollar recreation facility, and apartment-style residence hall complex located on campus and our very first Alumni House. A new physical therapy building and the historic restoration of West Hall, now known as Carruth-Rizza Hall, round out our latest projects.
Slippery Rock University employs some 400 teaching faculty and is accredited by the following:
* American Physical Therapy Association

Of all the accolades and special recognitions that the institution has received, it is most proud of its reputation as a caring and friendly university, a tradition that originated from the dedicated efforts of its faculty, staff and students.
