School Setting:

Pitt-Bradford is a four-year undergraduate college that is part of the University of Pittsburgh system. The 470-acre tree-filled parklike campus is located near the Pennsylvania-New York border. Most students live on campus, where they can choose from a variety of housing options, make friends with students from other majors and backgrounds, and be part of the larger campus community.

Students benefit from small hands-on classes. Academic support exists in the form of peer tutors, math and writing centers as well as an academic advising center and federal TRIO program to advise students with financial challenges, who are the first generation in their family to attend college, or who have a documented learning disability.

Pitt-Bradford students earn their degree from the University of Pittsburgh with the added value of more personal attention, lower tuition and safe campus full of natural beauty.

International Students:

Pitt-Bradford is a regional campus of the University of Pittsburgh, a public research university serving Pennsylvania as well as the world. We have a diverse community of students, faculty, and staff and have students from many different countries, backgrounds and experiences. Some students come to our campus and stay for all four years because they prefer smaller classes and feel comfortable being a part of our diverse, inclusive and welcoming campus community. As Pitt-Bradford students, they also have access to the vast resources of the University of Pittsburgh. Others spend their first two years on our campus and transfer to another Pitt campus for their remaining two years. The vast majority of our majors can be completed this way. Regardless of campus location, all degrees are conferred by the University of Pittsburgh, which is recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education. All diplomas are signed by the university’s chancellor, provost and chairman of the Board of Directors.
