Which major could he not complete on the main campus?

1142

Environmental science. He could do the first two years at main, but then had to go to either Altoona or Erie I think. We were shocked. There are actually a lot of majors like this, where you can’t do all 4 years at Main.

Good feedback. Regarding “generous merit scholarships”: granted, I only know 4 in-state students from the '23 and '24 admission classes so it’s a small sample size, but all 4 were Pitt honors admits and received $15k / year. From what I’ve been reading, it’s been $5k / year for similar in-state students in '25 and '26. Just pointing out that Pitt sticker price less $5k vs. Pitt sticker price less $15k makes a big difference when comparing offers from private colleges that come in at $40k or $50k after merit and other financial aid for many families.
