What's the deal with college in Pittsburgh?
We're dedicated to covering all facets of higher education — from universities to community colleges and from scientists in research labs to job-seekers getting short-term certificates. We're asking:
How people decide where to go
How they pay for it
Whether the city's colleges are helping the community and economy
How they're living up to their missions
We're all ears
What questions to you have about college? About getting in? About whether it's worth it? Or what to study? We want to help answer those questions with smarter, community-oriented journalism.
