What will it actually cost?
Sticker price: $35,546
Net price (after aid): $30,434
Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.

$110k+: $36,008 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)
For families earning $75k – $110k, $110k+, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $10,508. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.
The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedUniversity of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $77,724, above the $35,008 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Pennsylvania.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a small share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 1,020 of University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus's 34,525 students (3%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 5,810 (17%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Median earnings of graduates who received federal student aid, worked, and were not enrolled in school; debt is the median federal loans borrowed at this college by graduates who borrowed (Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized and Grad PLUS; not Parent PLUS, private loans or interest). Programs with too few graduates are suppressed by the Department of Education. The Department reports these figures for all 5 campuses that share University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus's federal aid ID, not for this campus alone. Monthly payment assumes a standard 10-year plan. Source: U.S. Department of Education, College Scorecard, field-of-study data, 10 June 2026. Download every program (CSV). Same degree, different paycheck: what the national data show. Over the Cap: graduate programs where typical debt exceeds the federal loan limits in force since July 2026. Nursing graduates vs RN pay by state: the early-career benchmark.

- What is the acceptance rate at University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus is approximately 58% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality.

- University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus's published in-state tuition is approximately $21,926 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25).

- How many students attend University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus?
- University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus reports total enrollment of approximately 35,724 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus is approximately $30,434 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $14,709 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $36,008. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus?
- University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus reports a graduation rate of approximately 85% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus have?
- Students who borrowed at University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus left with a median of approximately $24,250 in federal loans, and about 36% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $66,125 for students who received federal financial aid at University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus.
- How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus earn?
- University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus's bachelor's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $83,313 four years after graduating, 6% below the $88,910 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $72,251; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $23,000 in federal loans at this college (about $244 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $27,000 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 5 campuses that share University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus's federal aid ID. For context, registered nurses in Pennsylvania are paid a median $96,430 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.

- University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus's bachelor's graduates in Biology earned a median $62,744 four years after graduating, 10% above the $57,214 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $33,576; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $24,250 in federal loans at this college (about $257 a month on a 10-year plan).

That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $77,724, above the $35,008 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Pennsylvania, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
