You’re on it!
Communication is all about “it” — the breaking story, the new product, the developing social/business/political trend — the urgent daily focus of professional communicators.
At Point Park’s School of Communication, your academic home will be one of three professional sequences: journalism, visual and interactive communication, or public relations and advertising. The academic majors within these sequences are designed to give you what you need — the skills, training and expertise to launch your communication career.
Plus, Downtown is the center of Pittsburgh’s rich and robust media industry so, at Point Park you will be right in the middle of “it.”
