How to read these numbers ▾

Tuition & fees: $22k in-state / $41k out-of-state; the rest is housing, food & books. All-in is what a family actually budgets.

Net price (tuition, fees & living costs minus grant aid) for federal-aid students, by family income band — a truer estimate of out-of-pocket cost than the sticker.

Cost of attendance & net price from federal college data (in-state / on-campus basis; out-of-state all-in is estimated as out-of-state tuition plus the same living costs). Individual aid varies. Program investment from EADA per-sport filings (coaching, travel, scholarships & ops) averaged across the track & field roster — heavier investment means more money in play, not a promised award.

▸Pitt hurdler Roger Kingdom won the 1983 NCAA outdoor and 1984 NCAA indoor titles before becoming a two-time Olympic gold medalist (1984, 1988) in the 110m hurdles and setting the event's world record (12.92) in 1989.

▸Pitt's John Woodruff won 800m Olympic gold at the 1936 Berlin Games as a 21-year-old freshman, using a stop-and-restart move after getting boxed in that contemporary press called one of the most daring tactical moves ever seen on a track.
