Multimedia Degree

"Changes in technology bring changes in media, which are accelerating at a rapid pace. We embrace this constant flow of innovation, combined with our connection to the industries in and around Pittsburgh, and this keeps us on the cutting edge – it's a fun place to be!"

"Multimedia is a perfect major for students who are curious, motivated and excited by new things. It really is a jack-of-all-trades major. It allows students the opportunity to learn writing, web design, photography, video production and more."

“In my classes, students not only learn about traditional media but also acquire digital media skills while staying updated on the latest technological changes within the field. This prepares them for the professional world they’re headed into.”

"Point Park's location in Downtown Pittsburgh gives students a considerable number of opportunities to do internships and get other real world experiences that students in more suburban university locations cannot get."

"This is a highly competitive business, so you have to remain relevant, understand practical skills, be a self-starter, network and have a work ethic that will allow you to stay competitive. Communicate well with others, be friendly and build work relationships."

"Having transferred, I can say from experience few colleges have programs that ensure students are prepared for their field quite like Point Park. Professors go the extra mile to connect students with companies and try to set every student up for a successful career after college."

"The multimedia program provided me with a number of courses that I could build hard and soft skills around. The Downtown location, coupled with dedicated professors, meant that I was frequently introduced to industry professionals from media outlets across the city."

"For high school juniors and seniors considering Point Park, prepare to put in work and focus on your career in a major way. You will be entering into a community of future-focused people, so prepare yourselves to get to work on achieving your dreams starting on day one!"

"I’d recommend Point Park’s multimedia program because of the countless opportunities accessible to you, the professionalism of the program and the caring faculty that ensures you are on the pathway to success."

"Point Park is at the center of everything. There's never a shortage of internships, volunteering or career events. Every professor was kind and generous, whether they were meeting with me, referring me to potential clients or giving support as I was applying to grad programs."

"At Point Park, many professors are still working in their fields and are able to provide up-to-date information about the industry and help us make important connections. I was also so excited to get to study in a city where so many opportunities are just a bus ride away."

"Get an internship as soon as possible. You can sit in a classroom and learn all about how to use certain tools to help you create something meaningful, but nothing compares to experience. Internships give you an inside look into your desired field without working full time."

"My biggest advice to incoming students is to get involved with something that can open you up to opportunities and network like crazy!"
