Having chosen Pitt, you might very well believe

That you’ve made all the decisions you can perceive.

But within Pitt there be

Schools and colleges, you see,

And you choose the one from which a degree you’ll receive.

The University’s School of Arts and Sciences

Can teach you about historic defiances.

You can study French or chemistry,

Or become a journalist on TV,

Or negotiate international alliances.

The School of Engineering is housed in Benedum,

In which students can solve an equation or sum.

They learn to build and design,

And after school will be fine,

Because engineers’ work shows they are far from dumb.

The College of General Studies does house

Nontraditional students, like a parent or spouse.

Continue your education with ease

And choose among ten major degrees

In the school that might adults’ interest arouse.

If the world of business is your destination,

You might choose the College of Business Administration.

For public service or law,

This school creates awe

In any potential employment organization.

If teeth are the things that bring you the most glee,

You’ll want to consider working in dentistry.

Pitt’s School of Dental Medicine

Will give you a sparkling grin

As you learn to become what a dentist must be.

Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, at Pitt,

Are taught in the School with the name that does fit.

If you study sports medicine,

Physical therapy or nutrition,

From the school in Forbes Tower you will benefit.

If education is more of your thing, do not fear;

Pitt’s School of Education will guide your career.

Teaching, administration and research

Won’t leave you waiting around in the lurch,

And your range of options will fill you with cheer.

Perhaps you think nursing is really your bag.

Pitt’s School of Nursing won’t allow you to lag.

Learn holistic patient care,

And your abilities you’ll share,

In a school about which there is much to brag.

Information professionals graduate every year

From the School of Information Sciences, I hear.

Juniors can take a two-year program

With computer info on each exam

And finish prepared for an information career.

Some students want to solve a social problem

And the School of Social Work is there for them.

Advancing knowledge and easing

Such a problem is pleasing,

As students work to help what others might just condemn.

Though tempting, the Honors College cannot be

Your sole source of academic responsibility.

According to its mission

Anyone can ask permission

To take courses offered by the UHC.

Pitt also boasts of strong schools of Pharmacy

International affairs and law — that’s three.

Add public health and medicine

And students in all fields can win

But these five schools are for grad students only.
