For more than 70 years, the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology (P.I.T.) has been making a difference in students' lives, preparing thousands for rewarding careers.

It's more than just a college — it’s a lifeline for a remarkable community of students. Over 85% of our students are women, many of whom come from underserved backgrounds, bringing with them resilience, determination, and hope.

P.I.T. is primarily a two-year college serving over 1400 students annually and offering healthcare certificates and degrees, such as Practical Nursing, Pre-Nursing, and Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ultrasound) - just to name a few. We truly make a difference in the lives of our students through hands-on, individualized attention offered to prepare each student for the jobs they, more often than not, have secured before graduating.
