About University of Pittsburgh

Tucked beside the Allegheny National Forest, Pitt-Bradford pairs the University of Pittsburgh connection with a close-knit campus. Students lean into the sciences, business, and the social sciences, with strong grounding in the arts and applied fields. Classes favor hands-on work in well-equipped labs and studios, supported by a busy library and student services that show up when you need them: tutoring, writing help, advising, counseling, and a career center focused on internships.

Life here feels outdoorsy and unpretentious. Clubs, intramurals, and student performances fill the week, and many chase trails, water, and snow on weekends. Career prep has a practical streak through fieldwork, local placements, and ties to the wider Pitt network. Bradford's small town offers easy connections to businesses and nonprofits. And seasonal campus traditions knit the community together when evenings get cool.
