BRADFORD, Pa. — The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has been named a top school for veterans by both Military Times and U.S. Veterans Magazine.

Pitt-Bradford was named one of the Best for Vets: Colleges by Military Times, the premier dedicated independent news source for active-duty military, their families and retirees.

The campus was among 15 Pennsylvania colleges and the only campus in the University of Pittsburgh system to be recognized.

To figure out its list, Military Times looks at success metrics, military-specific resources and the level of financial aid schools offer. It also considered admissions and registration policies.

This is the fourth year Pitt-Bradford has been recognized by Military Times.

                U.S. Veterans Magazine named Pitt-Bradford to its Top Veteran Schools. The magazine conducts a national evaluation to find organizations that go above and beyond in supporting veterans and transitioning service members. Qualifications include a dedicated veteran resource center, an active student veterans organization, a VA certifying official on campus, academic credit for military training or experience and career services tailored to veteran needs.

                Pitt-Bradford was the only Pitt campus recognized by U.S. Veterans Magazine as well.

Previously, Pitt-Bradford has received recognition as a Military Friendly School for 16 consecutive years by Viqtory Media for its support of active military and veteran students.

“Pitt-Bradford is proud to support our nation’s veterans and their family members in pursuit of their academic and career goals,” said Dr. James Baldwin, vice president for enrollment management. “These honors recognize our efforts to provide a world-class education to students who have served our country, and we continue to offer support that will help them succeed both in and out of the classroom.”

Support at Pitt-Bradford for veterans includes academic coaching and tutoring, disability resources, an academic advising center, writing center and mathematics center, as well as career and counseling services.

Pitt-Bradford also offers credits for veterans through various standardized exams, priority registration for classes and mental health services.

In September, U.S. News & World Report ranked Pitt-Bradford #7 in Best Colleges for Veterans in the North.

Pitt-Bradford has also been named a Military Spouse Friendly® School, a designation that helps military spouses select schools that will support them in their education journey by meeting their unique needs as part of a military family.
