About This School
UPMC Mercy School of Nursing is a private nonprofit institution located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with approximately 308 undergraduate students enrolled. UPMC Mercy School of Nursing has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 88%. The average net price after financial aid is $33,159 per year. Typical graduates earn $50,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
This small, focused nursing program in Pittsburgh is worth considering if you want a tight-knit clinical environment — with only 305 students, you're unlikely to get lost in the crowd. The financial picture is relatively manageable: median debt at graduation is just $12,000, which is well below average for nursing programs, though the $30,944 annual net price still requires careful budgeting. The one honest caution is that median earnings of $50,700 at the 10-year mark are modest for a nursing graduate, suggesting most alumni may be staying in staff-level roles rather than advancing into higher-paying specialties.
