<p>Hi...</p>
<p>Can anyone comment on the studio art program at Pitt? (I understand that CMU has very strong program "up the road," yet it is essentially untouchable from the standpoint of cost).</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your input... drd</p>

<p>I don't know about art at Pitt, but I do know that you are permitted to cross-register for some number of credits. You might be able to get some art at CMU at no additional charge. This probably is dependent on permission of the instructor and space in the studio class, though.</p>
<p>From the Pitt website:</p>
<p>Cross-Enrollment is a program through the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education (PCHE) that provides an opportunity for enriched educational programs by permitting students to attend courses at any of ten participating colleges and universities.  These institutions are Carlow University, Carnegie Mellon University, Chatham University, Community College of Allegheny County, Duquesne University, LaRoche College, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Point Park University, Robert Morris University and the University of Pittsburgh.  Cross enrollment is available to full-time undergraduate and graduate students registered at a PCHE institution.   However, graduate cross-enrollment is restricted to  Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, LaRoche College, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Robert Morris University and the University of Pittsburgh. 
Cross-enrollment is available to full-time students in the fall and spring terms, only.  There is not an additional tuition charge to cross-enroll; however you may be assessed "special" course fees.  The earned grade and units will be transferred to the home school.  The academic policies of the host institution prevail. </p>
<p>Cross-enrollment does not apply to part-time students or during the summer term at any of the PCHE institutions. In these cases, students would follow the "Temporary Transfer Student" procedure, agreed to separately by the PCHE institutions. These students are liable for all tuition and fees assessed by the other institution. </p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh students may automatically enroll at any of the other University of Pittsburgh campuses (Bradford, Greensburg, Johnstown and Titusville) at any time.</p>
