Named after Robert Morris, RMU offers more than 30 bachelor's and 14 post-graduate degree programs. It is located on a 230 acre (931,000 m²) campus in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, and has a satellite campus in downtown Pittsburgh.

Robert Morris sports teams are nicknamed the Colonials. The school colors are blue and white. The Colonials compete in NCAA Division I (Division I-AA in football). The men's and women's ice hockey teams are members of the College Hockey America conference, while all other sports are sponsored by the Northeast Conference (Men's lacrosse is a member of the CAA and women's rowing is independent). The basketball team plays in the Sewall Center and the football team plays in the newly constructed Joe Walton Stadium.

Prior to 2002, it was known as Robert Morris College, but it is not related to Robert Morris College in Chicago, Illinois.
