The University of Piteşti ( Romanian: Universitatea din Pitești, abbreviated UPIT) is a public university in Piteşti, Romania, founded in 1991.
The first Higher Education Institution in Piteşti was founded in 1962 and was called "The 3-year Pedagogical Institute" with pedagogical specialisations in Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Philology and Physical Education and Sports.
