"Changing careers was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Getting my master’s degree from Point Park was the catalyst that allowed me to make that change."

"The flexibility of this program is priceless for working professionals like me. I was able to work full time and take full-time classes, feeling supported by both my job and my school. Many classes are offered online, which is fantastic for busy adults, but many classes are in person, too, allowing students to form valuable, face-to-face connections and get the best of both worlds."
