context_page_description: The University of Pittsburgh Honors College is an undergraduate college providing a program of advanced study at the Oakland campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.
  Arising out of the University Honors Program founded in 1978, it transitioned into a college formally dedicated in 1987. The University Honors College provides undergraduate classes that are more challenging and exhaustive than their non-honors counterparts in a wide variety of academic disciplines via collaboration with the other schools of the university. In addition, students are provided with specialized advising and honors housing opportunities.
  Rather than having students apply for admission to the UHC and then take classes solely within it, the honors college does not have a formal membership, but is open to all students meeting certain eligibility requirements, or acquiring special permission, and offers flexibility for students to take advantage of its offerings and resources in accordance to their individual motivation.
context_section_description: The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review  is a multi-disciplinary, undergraduate, refereed academic journal published by the Honors College.  Founded in 1980, it is published annually, with recent issues available online. The journal publishes original, scholarly research articles authored by undergraduate students. Submission of articles is open to students at any institution throughout the world, although the journal is an English-only publication. The majority of submissions involve topics in the humanities, arts, and social sciences.
  The journal's thorough refereeing process is modeled on that utilized by professional academic journals. Submitted articles are reviewed for originality, clarity, reasoning, and research by at least two experts in a relevant field, pooled from faculty at the University of Pittsburgh and other institutions.
  The National Collegiate Honors Council supported the journal's founding, which at the time was the first peer-reviewed undergraduate academic journal in the country. The Council also helped to establish the Edythe Portz Prize, which rewards each year's best overall submission. The journal was recognized by The New York Times in 2001.
