Notable
Relatively expensive net price even for low-income students compared to peer flagships. In-state tuition ~$21,000 vs ~$39,000 OOS. Strong pre-med pipeline and health sciences (adjacent to UPMC). Uses rolling admissions, which is unusual among peer flagships. Honors College is highly selective (separate application). Pittsburgh's tech economy provides strong career outcomes.
