The graduating classes at the University of Pittsburgh achieve employment success at a higher rate than the national average. The 1994 graduating class had a 75 percent legal employment rate within six months of graduation, compared to the national average of 69 percent. One percent were in solo practice firms, and 11 percent were in firms of unknown size. The Placement Office encourages students to make use of the important service it provides. Resume help, interviewing assistance, print information of many kinds, and help with job-hunting strategies are available.
Students are welcome to make arrangements for individual counseling and assistance.
The Student Health Service, located in the Medical Arts Building, provides Pittsburgh campus students with outpatient health care. Services provided include general medicine, allergy injections, dermatology, and an on-site pharmacy. Health educators provide programs and information that emphasize preventive approaches to health care. Family planning and gynecology services also are offered for students seeking education, counseling, and medical services. All full-time students are assessed a health fee for services on their statement.
