for first-time college and transfer students, Duquesne has an additional automatic
matching grant for anyone eligible for a PA state grant. Learn more about our PA State Grant Matching program. You'll learn with students from all cultural, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds
from nearly every state and more than 50 countries. There are more than 280+ student organizations so you can get involved in student government, intramural sports or the many free
or reduced fee activities available to you. One of the things our students continually rave about is our best of both worlds'
campus that's private and park-like and steps from downtown Pittsburgh. While strolling Academic Walk to get to class,
you'll enjoy our beautiful, safe, self-contained campus with lots of green spaces
and a distinctive view of the city skyline. And steps from campus you'll have all
of the internships, culture, recreation, dining, and shopping of a major city!
Each year, more than 250 students make the switch to Duquesne. We make it
easy to transfer; students are admitted on a rolling basis, meaning you're welcome
to apply for a fall, spring or summer start. Our Bridges curriculum, inspired by Pittsburgh's
446 iconic spans, is designed as a transfer-friendly, cohesive academic journey that
will get you to graduation.
Students appreciate that employers and graduate schools know about the caliber of
Duquesne students. At Duquesne, you'll get access to the resources that will help you find career success: develop professional and job search skills,
