Graduation Rate
Pittsburgh Technical College graduation rate is above the national average.
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 a huge number of students. This index 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 picture. 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:
I'm so glad that I went to PTC. It was an amazing experience.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I've almost been in the graphic design program for 2 years now and can proudly say that Pittsburgh Technical College has given me an outstanding education! They have exceptional staff that really care about each and every individual. The courses aren't easy, but if you are looking for knowledge they will be sure to do everything they can to help you along the way. I can't thank/recommend this school enough. I'll miss it when I'm gone and wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else. Thank you so much PTC ❤️.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I like the burgers. Theu have a nice selection of fine sodas.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™The school is full of many kind teachers. But when there are good teachers there is also the bad. Teacher(s) that make you feel stupid. Me personally I feel like graphic design is a waste of time and money... I will not recommend the program here, go somewhere else...
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™This is a fantastic school and very different than my experience at a state school. I started at a public college here in PA and most of my professors didn't care, I even had some that mentioned they didn't have an attendance policy because they get paid no matter what grade I get. It is also tough to get help when you have a few hundred people in your class. It lead to some of the worst grades in my life. After 2 years I was tired of wasting time and money so I dropped out of MU and later enrolled at Pittsburgh Technical College. The teachers got to know each of us in the class pretty well and many of them would reach out if a student missed class to make sure they were ok. The hands on aspect of the school was great as I prefer to learn by doing things instead of reading about them. The internship was also a major benefit, especially when it was time to get a job and I had experience that other candidates didn't. It was a fantastic experience that I wish I knew about sooner.
