Online Certificate Programs
NEW! Point Park University now offers three 100% online certificate programs:
- Online Certificate in Adult Education and Administration
- Online Certificate in Public Administration
- Online Certificate in Intelligence and National Security
These 18-credit programs provide specific knowledge and credentials to support adults interested in advancing their professional careers. All classes are offered online, and the programs are designed to be completed within one year. Both programs are based on well-established curriculum used in traditional classrooms.
Online certificate programs begin in both the fall and spring semesters, and students never need to visit campus. All courses are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via Blackboard, the University-wide course management system.
Easy to Use Technology
Students access Blackboard via a secure log-in using their own high-speed Internet connection. The Blackboard platform allows for trouble-free access to course content and ongoing interaction between course instructors and students. Curious about how it works? Read more about Blackboard.
Point Park provides students with clear and concise information on computer hardware and software requirements. This ensures your computer’s compatibility with the University network and student service systems. Be sure to read all technology requirements.
Library Services
Point Park’s library offers all students access 24 hours a day. View our online resources databases and learn about how you can obtain books, newspapers, and research articles online from virtually anywhere. And because the University participates in EZ-Borrow and InterLibraryLoan, Point Park’s library extends well beyond its own walls to bring you what you need. Use the QR codes at right or text, IM, or email to reach a librarian. The library is ready to help you make the most of your online learning.
More Online Options
In addition to the fully online certificate programs, Point Park’s School of Business and other schools offer individual online classes, as noted in the University’s coursebook. The coursebook also lists hybrid classes, which means a course may include online requirements along with traditional in-class time. All are all identified with “hybrid” or with an HY designation.
