[*winter*]

The only medical school at a public university in PA

An entirely new program designed to focus on rural health

Affordable tuition for in state students

[PittDZ]

This school will be the first Osteopathic med school at a public university in PA, however there are 3 regular, allopathic med schools at public universities in PA that grant MDs…University of Pittsburgh, Temple, and Penn State/Hershey.

It’s my understanding that those schools are “semi public” and not entirely public the way the SSHE schools are?

Not sure of the exact details.

Pitt, Temple & Penn State are definitely State Schools.

PittDZ, are you in school now, or a graduate? There used to be a regular poster named KillarnyRose who graduated from Pitt!

The SSHE schools are state schools - entirely state owned/public. Pitt, Penn State, Temple and Lincoln are state RELATED - halfway between public and private.

So yes, OP is correct.

Yes, KillarnyRose was a DZ from my chapter 5-10 years after me. I believe her name is Tracie. I was at Pitt with you and lived in Amos Hall…graduated in 1976. I used to post as LampLady, but something happened to my login years ago, so I created a new account.

TIL Temple and Pitt aren’t private colleges. Thanks, y’all!
