Pitt also ranked as one of the top schools for veterans, one of its only non-academic recognitions. John Christman, director of the Office for Veteran Services at Pitt, described the ranking as an “honor” to the Pitt military community.
“For me personally, and for many in the military-affiliated community, it signifies that our experiences, sacrifices and needs are not only acknowledged but prioritized in a tangible way,” Christman said. “We [at Pitt] truly understand the unique transitions veterans face when returning to civilian and academic life.”
Christman also highlighted Pitt’s veteran services, which tailor support and attention for every individual, differing from those at other schools.
“Many universities offer veteran services, but our ability to combine individualized support with institutional commitment sets it apart,” Christman said. “It’s not just about checking boxes — it’s about creating a culture where veterans feel heard, supported and empowered to thrive.”
