Are you aspiring to be a psychologist? Or something exciting like a recreation therapist? Maybe you want to be an elementary education teacher. The College of Education offers many reputable programs if working with people young and old is the career for you!
Last, but certainly not least, is Pitt State's famous College of Technology. The state-of-the-art Kansas Technology Center is a must see facility!

Pittsburg State University is not just your ordinary college. Sure...other colleges can boast a small student to faculty ratio, where you are known by your name, not a number. Maybe they have a great location in a spirited community or a perfect sized institution. They may even have qualified faculty committed to excellence and also offer over 100 student activities and organizations. Other colleges may be affordable with low tuition costs, but...
