Academics
A modestly-sized Catholic university in the heart of Pittsburgh, Duquesne offers students “small class sizes [and a] welcoming staff” along with good “financial aid and scholarship opportunities.” The university is especially renowned for its “strong health profession programs,” and we’re told that the “Nursing, Physician’s Assistant, and Pharmacy Programs are all very well developed” in particular. Additionally, the nearby “hospital system provides … a quality learning and clinical environment for students.” Fortunately, most departments, by and large, offer students “great research opportunities.” Undergrads also appreciate the fact that it’s rather easy to “make strong connections [with their professors].” As one student explains, “My professors all seem to love Duquesne, and [they] love to share their research … with the class.” The vast majority of professors “are very open to questions and will do anything to help their students, in and out of the classroom.” Indeed, they make it quite evident that “[they] care about … the well-being of their students” beyond academics. Finally, as another student concludes, “I … feel as if I’ve been given unbelievable opportunities by attending Duquesne.”
