About the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford



The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford (Pitt-Bradford), founded in 1963, is a comprehensive four-year undergraduate college of the University of Pittsburgh. Pitt-Bradford awards the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees in 38 major areas of study, the Associate of Science degree in three major areas of study, and the Associate of Arts degree in one area of study. In addition, the college provides preprofessional programs in a variety of health-related and other areas, and minor concentrations in more than 50 areas of study.

Pitt-Bradford is located in northwestern Pennsylvania near the New York state border on north-south U.S. Route 219, just 10 miles south of Interstate 86. Nearby are the major population centers of Pittsburgh (165 miles), Buffalo (80 miles), and Toronto, Canada (165 miles). The modern 491-acre Pitt-Bradford campus, which was first constructed in 1970, has grown significantly since that time and includes modern facilities where students live and learn.

Because of Pitt-Bradford’s location near the Allegheny National Forest, students have ample opportunities to study the environment and take advantage of plentiful outdoor recreation, which includes cross-country and downhill skiing in the winter (the slopes of Holiday Valley are just minutes away) and boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, and camping in the warmer months both in and around the Allegheny Reservoir.

The city of Bradford and its environs, population 20,000, is a friendly community home to shopping and banking facilities, restaurants, a regional medical center, and many of the other amenities of an established small city.

Division of Student Affairs

Our Mission: Student Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford provides transformative experiences and shapes inclusive environments to foster holistic student well-being.

This division includes the Dean of Students Office, Career Services, Counseling Services, Equity and Accessibility, Experiential Learning and Leadership, Health Services, Inclusion and Belonging, International Student Services, Residence Life and Housing, and Student Engagement. Each of these offices provides foundational programs for students, fostering a vibrant campus life, and enhancing the overall student experience.

Offices for the Division of Student Affairs are located on the first and second floors of the Frame-Westerberg Commons.

Dean of Students Office

The Dean of Students Office is at the heart of Student Affairs, leading co-curricular programming across the campus to enrich your college experience. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and vibrant environment where all students can flourish.

The Dean of Students Office provides resources and guidance to help students navigate their academic and personal endeavors. Whether they’re seeking support, facing challenges, or looking for ways to get involved, we’re here for Pitt-Bradford students.

If you notice a concern or need to make us aware of a situation on campus, you can connect with us through CARE Referrals, Conduct Referrals, or Pitt Concern Connection Reports:

  • CARE Referrals 
    Submit a CARE Referral if you notice a student displaying concerning behaviors, such as significant mental health or physical health challenges, academic struggles, or personal crises. CARE Referrals help ensure students receive timely support and access to resources for their well-being and success.
  • Conduct Referrals 
    Submit a Conduct Referral if a student’s behavior may violate the Student Code of Conduct or university policies, such as substance use, harassment, or disruptive actions. Conduct Referrals, document incidents, uphold community standards, and provide an educational process that promotes accountability, safety, and student growth.
  • Pitt Concern Connection Reports 
    Submit a Pitt Concern Connection (PCC) report if you encounter or are aware of incidents related to Title IX violations, bias, or discrimination. These reports help the university address issues of inequity, harassment, or unfair treatment, fostering a campus environment that values inclusion, dignity, and respect for all.

Each year, the Dean of Students Office publishes the Student Handbook, Residential Handbook, and Code of Conduct online to ensure students have access to clear guidelines, policies, and resources that support a safe, inclusive, and flourishing campus community.

From the first year through graduation, students are encouraged to explore options, gain experience, and develop the confidence and tools needed to pursue meaningful careers. Career Services provides individualized career coaching, skill-building resources, employer connections, and experiential opportunities that prepare students to thrive in a competitive and evolving job market. Whether they are clarifying goals, preparing for interviews, or expanding their networks, Career Services strengthens students’ ability to translate their education and experiences into real-world success.

Counseling Services

Counseling services are available to students who have personal concerns or problems. The director of counseling services and the counseling services therapist are licensed mental health professionals, providing individual and group counseling and crisis intervention, as well as programs to assist students in identifying and resolving problems that may interfere with their adjustment. Referrals for counseling or psychiatric services are also sometimes made to The Guidance Center, a community counseling facility located near campus. Additional community services and counseling services through the main campus in Oakland can be utilized. Confidentiality is maintained in all contacts.

Equity and Accessibility

Equity and Accessibility provides equal opportunities in higher education and determines reasonable accommodations and services for students with disabilities. Students with a documented disability may be eligible for services that help to create an accessible and inclusive university experience. Students with disabilities are integrated as completely as possible into the University experience. Through an interactive process, Equity and Accessibility works individually with each student to provide access to University classes, housing, programs, and activities.

Experiential Learning & Leadership

The Office of Experiential Learning & Leadership provides opportunities for students to engage in active learning that extends beyond the classroom and into real-world contexts. Central to our approach is the belief that meaningful experience becomes powerful learning when paired with intentional reflection. Through guided opportunities such as internships, community engagement, and student employment, we help students make sense of their experiences, articulate the skills they’re developing, and connect those insights to academic, personal, and professional goals. Our programs are designed to support the development of leadership not as a position, but as a way of being-rooted in self-awareness, responsibility, and a commitment to learning from experience. Through workshops, training, deep reflection, and intentional action, students are empowered to navigate their path with purpose and lead with integrity-in their careers, communities, and daily lives.

Service & Civic Engagement

Service & Civic Engagement initiatives empower students to become active, thoughtful participants in their communities through meaningful service experiences, community partnerships, and civic learning opportunities. Rooted in the belief that service is a powerful form of education, the program supports students in exploring their values, understanding social responsibility, and developing the knowledge and skills needed for lifelong civic involvement. Whether through one-time service events, sustained volunteer roles, or dialogue-based programs, students are encouraged to reflect on their impact, connect their experiences to larger systems and issues, and grow as socially conscious leaders in both local and global contexts.

Health Services

At Health Services, our nursing staff provides health services and programs for Pitt-Bradford students. Primary assessment and treatment of health problems and injuries, health education, and referrals are included in the scope of service. A campus physician provides verbal consultation daily and a monthly medical clinic on campus. Monthly reproductive health clinics are available by a community advanced-practice provider.

The Student Health Center also includes a Self-Care Cabinet with free over-the-counter medications, supplies for minor colds and cuts, safer sex supplies, and hygiene products.
