The University of
Pittsburgh
Thank you for visiting us, John! We enjoyed hearing about what’s happening at the University of Pittsburgh!
Pitt’s new health and wellness facility brings together its health and wellness services.
In addition to renovating its library, its main dining hall recently underwent a major renovation and now includes an Italian section with white tablecloths.
Pitt has six direct-entry schools. Applicants apply to the school that offers their intended major. But don’t worry if you’re undeclared: you’ll apply to Diedrich, the arts and sciences college, and receive additional advising.
Thanks to four hospitals on campus and one more on the way, one of Pitt’s most renowned programs is its nursing school, which has VR cadavers and mannequin sim labs. The Living Learning Community for nurses is next to a trauma hospital. No wonder its nursing graduates are in demand, often receiving sign-up bonuses.
We also talked about the honors college. One of the big draws of which is student-led research. Although it’s competitive if an applicant isn’t accepted when applying to Pitt, it’s possible to re-apply as a first-year student.
