A Washington, D.C.-based magazine recognized the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford as a Top 20 college in the nation for earning a bachelor’s degree and a “best bang for the buck” university.

Washington Monthly included Pitt-Bradford in its annual College Guide and Rankings, which looks at how colleges help the public interest through promoting social mobility, research and service. Pitt-Bradford was ranked 19th among national colleges for bachelor’s degrees, one of only two Pennsylvania colleges ranked in the top 20.

A breakdown of the data taken into consideration showed that Pitt-Bradford ranked particularly well in ROTC (12th), the percentage of students entering the Peace Corps (21st), and social mobility (28th).

Pitt-Bradford was also ranked 79th from among 385 northeastern schools for being “Best Bang for the Buck.”

Data examined for that ranking showed that Pitt-Bradford graduates’ median pay 10 years after graduation was nearly $8,000 per year more than that of students from peer colleges.

The rankings appear in the magazine’s September-October issue.
