We want every student who is accepted by the College to be able to attend. For this reason we have a wide range of scholarships, some based on academic achievement and some based on need. Approximately 80 percent of our traditional-age students receive financial aid. Many students who initially believe that Point Park is too expensive for them are surprised by the generous financial aid packages they receive. We offer a full range of student activities, including six varsity teams for men and women, intramural sports, clubs, movies, and dances.
All activities are open to commuters as well as resident students.
Our residence halls accommodate approximately 500 students from more than twenty states and thirty different countries. Point Park has a long tradition of meeting the educational needs of working adults and has tailored many programs to the needs of this group. Adults who have approximately 60 credits can complete their bachelor's degrees in two years by attending an accelerated Saturday program in Business, Applied Corporate Communications, or Criminal Justice. Working adults can also complete degrees in other majors, including education or engineering technology, by taking classes evenings and Saturdays. We soon expect to have additional master's degrees, including an M.S. in Education, an M.S. in Counseling Psychology, and an M.F.A. in Theatre Arts Management.
