We welcome transfer students who would like to continue their college career at 51ÁÔÆæ!
Turn your Associate Degree into a World-renowned Pitt Degree
We're making it easier than ever for community college graduates to earn their bachelor's degree at 51ÁÔÆæ.
Starting with the Fall 2024 semester, most Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees* will meet our General Education requirements. This means many AA/AS degree earners can transfer to 51ÁÔÆæ and focus on major requirements without having to complete general education courses. With all that room in your schedule, you may also be able to add a second major or minor!
If you would like to see if you qualify, contact transfer counselor Kelsey Oddis at kmo49@pitt.edu.
