Overall rating

ScrubScope has not put a single number on University of Pittsburgh (School of Nursing). As a public university its cost and student experience shift with residency and campus, so we verify program quality, faculty, online support, real cost, and student outcomes against a primary source before any score goes up. For now its first-time NCLEX index of 66.7 is one input we weigh, not a verdict. We will not post a fabricated or flattering rating to fill the gap.

Common questions

Yes. University of Pittsburgh (School of Nursing) holds accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The school was chartered in 1819, and accreditation is a hard gate in our methodology, so a program without it would not appear on ScrubScope at all.
What you pay at University of Pittsburgh (School of Nursing) turns mostly on in-state versus out-of-state residency and how many credits transfer in. ScrubScope routes your inquiry to University of Pittsburgh (School of Nursing) rather than quoting a price, so confirm current tuition and fees directly with the school before you apply.
