Transfer Students Welcome to a very transfer-friendly campus
Point Park University has a long history of welcoming students from community colleges, other four-year institutions, and trade and technical schools that offer college credits. We offer a wide range of academic programs to transfer students, but the benefits don't stop there.
Getting Started
Our admissions counselors can help you through all the steps to transfer, including:
- Selecting an academic program
- Reviewing transcripts
- Applying online for admission
- Exploring financial aid options
- Registering for classes
Understanding the Transfer Process
What is a Transfer Applicant?
- A transfer applicant is a student who has successfully completed 12 or more credits at a regionally accredited college or university.
Should I Attend Full Time or Part Time?

Phi Theta Kappa Scholarships are available for full-time transfer students from a community college.
- Part-Time Undergraduate Admissions (U.S. citizens or permanent residents who want to take 3 to 11 credits per semester primarily attending evening or Saturday classes.)
