BRIDGES students come from diverse backgrounds, but they share common goals: To find a community of supportive and like-minded friends on campus who aid you in your transition to the university and to go on to do great things after graduation.
That’s what BRIDGES is here for. We connect students to each other, campus leaders, resources and opportunities, professional networks, and build leaders with the skills for lifelong success.

BRIDGES is a program exclusively for underrepresented grant and scholarship students in the Dietrich School. Eligible students are invited to join via mail and e-mail prior to the start of their first term. If you are an underrepresented student attending the University of Pittsburgh and received a University grant or scholarship but have not received an invitation, please bridges.as@pitt.edu.
BRIDGES means building relationships, inspiring diversity, and generating excellence in scholarship.
Academic Foundations (FP 0004) is a one-credit course exclusively for BRIDGES members. In this course you will explore resources on campus and across the city. There are three sections available in Fall 2024. Request your enrollment by July 15, 2024.
