The campus is situated on the bluffs overlooking the Monongahela River less than a mile before it joins the Alleghany to form the Ohio.  It is conveniently accessible via downtown exits from I-376 and I-579, which meet just off the southwest corner of the property.  Forbes Avenue, from Crosstown Boulevard to Stevenson Street, crosses the campus.  Along Forbes, at its intersection with Magee Street, is the A.J. Palumbo Center (5,358)  To the south, directly on Bluff Street and above the bore of the Armstrong Tunnel (10th Street, which dumps out onto Forbes on the west side of campus), lies Arthur J.

Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Division: NCAA Division I FCS
Conference (football): Northeast Conference
Stadium: Arthur J. Rooney Athletic Field
Conference (basketball): Atlantic 10 Conference
Arena: A.J. Palumbo Center

The Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit Dukes compete as associate members of the Northeast Conference in NCAA Division I FCS football, and as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference in NCAA Division I basketball. Duquesne is a private Catholic (Congregation of the Holy Spirit) institution located in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 6,000.

The campus is situated on the bluffs overlooking the Monongahela River less than a mile before it joins the Alleghany to form the Ohio. It is conveniently accessible via downtown exits from I-376 and I-579, which meet just off the southwest corner of the property. Forbes Avenue, from Crosstown Boulevard to Stevenson Street, crosses the campus. Along Forbes, at its intersection with Magee Street, is the A.J. Palumbo Center (5,358) To the south, directly on Bluff Street and above the bore of the Armstrong Tunnel (10th Street, which dumps out onto Forbes on the west side of campus), lies Arthur J. Rooney Field (4,500).

Duquesne's main rival on a base level is the University of Pittsburgh, located less than a mile to the east. However, the two schools have not been remotely comparable for over a quarter-century in football (and even the basketball rivalry has been quite one-sided recently), and the newly-formed conference rivalry with Robert Morris is probably the Dukes' strongest in that sport.

Fifty Duquesne alumni have reached the NFL, led by DL Frank Wydo. Additionally, more former Dukes have played for the hometown Pittsburgh Steelers than have alumni at any other school. Twenty former Dukes have played in the NBA or ABA, with two-time All-Star Norm Nixon leading the way.
