55% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Pittsburgh Technical College completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes an extensive number of students. This indicator doesn’t consider students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading perception. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare educational institutions.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Pittsburgh Technical College
Overall Rating:
If you are serious about your education this place can get you a degree that makes you confident and qualified for that next job. The pace of the education is very fast but doesn't let anything slip through the cracks. The staff and faculty work around the clock and truly care about the individual.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™First this school made me buy a lock from them to lock a locker that they provided. I was told that my equipment would be safe in said locker. After most of my welding equipment was stolen they replaced it with the cheapest Chicago Electric hood that they could find. Attending this institution for any of their programs is a complete waste of veteran benefits.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™My mom attended. The teachers are very rude & disrespectful. She was in the ASN program. This program is not meant for individuals of different ethnicity to attend. They pick who they want as the program excels, they told my mom to drop out because nursing was not for her. If this school did an audit on how many Africans Americans or different ethnicity supposedly failed I wonder if the number would be astronomical?
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™They offered me grants and certain things for choosing their school. After a semester they sent me a letter stating I didn't qualify and had to start paying almost $2,000 a month. I couldn't afford it so I had to drop out. They have robbed me of my tax returns for years until they got paid. Beware of their lies!!!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™They sent me an acceptance letter saying I was accepted into their RN program and the when I go to fill out my fasfa they told me that I was put in the LPN program. I was really upset about this and the only person who seemed to understand how I felt was the financial aid officer. The admission officer and her boss, Doug told me two different stories as to why they didn’t catch the mistake. They basically made it out to be my fault because I applied for both LPN and RN. I’ve had a lot of family and friends go through this school and I thought it was meant for me because of all the good things I hear about it and I really liked their nursing programs. Nope, stay away from this school. They can’t even get an acceptance letter right, what makes you think they’re not going to mess up with something else.
