Bidwell students enjoy increased employment opportunities in the high tech, medical, culinary and scientific fields. Point Park College is an independent, fully accredited institution located in downtown Pittsburgh. The mission of the College, which enrolls 2,700, is to prepare students to succeed in their chosen professions through the mastery of both the traditional liberal arts and career-oriented majors. Offering over 35 majors in seven academic departments, Point Park has developed a variety of day, evening and Saturday class formats to meet the needs of its diverse student population. The Point Partnership is a logical collaboration between the institutions, according to Point Park College President Katherine Henderson.
Workforce development is one of the most important challenges facing the region.
This allows Bidwell to continue its mission of providing students with career paths and opportunities for advancement which meet the needs of employers. Applications for The Point Partnership, which can be obtained from either institution, should be submitted to the Point Park College Office of Part-Time and Accelerated Programs. ITS will continue to be responsible for academic and administrative computing, as well as network services, technical support and support of the College computer labs. This change reflects evolving responsibilities and expectations. Concurrently, Leslie Kaufman's title will be changed to Director of Information Technology.
