Academically Driven

Why does U.S. News & World Report include us as one of the best baccalaureate colleges in the north? In part, it comes down to Pitt-Bradford’s academically driven approach to education: combining a solid curricular foundation with the knowledge and hands-on opportunities you need to pursue your future.

Dedicated Faculty

The average class size is only 18 so you’ll get to know your professors and they’ll get to know you, inside the classroom and beyond.

Stephanie Testa, who is majoring in biology and chemistry, said, "All of my professors have been easy to access whenever I have questions about a class, and they have always been more than wiling to help. I chose Pitt-Bradford because I think that small classes provide a better learning environment."  Read more.  

And Stephanie's not the only one saying that. In a recent survey, 80 percent of our freshmen and 89 percent of our seniors rated their relationships with faculty as positive. Read more.
