Your Service. Your Next Mission.

You’ve led teams, executed under pressure, and built skills few civilians ever develop and now it’s time to translate that experience into a credential that opens the next chapter. Pitt Online graduate programs are designed for active duty, reserve, transitioning, and veteran service members: rigorous coursework from one of the nation’s top public research universities, delivered with the flexibility to fit deployments, permanent change of station moves, and life after service.

Why Pitt Online works for service members and veterans:

VA benefits accepted — Pitt is a Yellow Ribbon school, and all graduate programs participate. We accept the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, Montgomery GI Bill®, VR&E, and Tuition Assistance.
Flexibility for military life — Online and asynchronous coursework designed to move with you through deployments, PCS orders, and shifting schedules.
Credit for military training — Many programs recognize military transcripts, prior learning, and professional certifications, helping you finish faster.
A degree civilian employers respect — Earn the same University of Pittsburgh credential delivered on campus, with a brand that opens doors nationwide.
A Military Friendly School — Connect with Pitt’s Office of Veterans Services, a designated Military Friendly School® for more than a decade, with staff dedicated to helping you make the most of your earned benefits.
