Lauren

My school is best known for its Conservatory of Performing Arts Program.

Bianca

Point Park is best known for its Dance program. COPA (Conservatory of Performing Arts) majors have the freedom of a liberal arts college with a conservatory school environment. I have my friends in the theatre and dance department who share my knowledge and passion for their art, and I have friends who are accounting majors that give me a new perspective on life and the future.

Crystal

Point Park University is probably best known for its unique performing arts program. Although I am not a part of that program, I am aware that it a good program, that provides many opportunities for its students. The program I am involved in, psychology, is also very unique at PPU. The program isn’t exactly a “traditional” psychology program. It’s a very radical and forward-thinking program. It focuses on the humanistic aspect of psychology rather than the naturalistic. I personally love that about the program. The professors are fantastic, and the campus is also wonderful.

Tarah

Although the Dean's list at my school has gained more communication and business majors over the past year, My school is known best for its art and entertainment program, This include the most popular, dance, theatre, cinema, photography, and much more. Some people decide to take other routes in education, with the science department, and even then, they are forced to engage in some form of art class. But any school would make you do the same, for instance if you go to a christian school they would make you take christian related courses.

Mikelle

Point Park University is best known for their rigorous dance program through the Conservatory of Performing Arts at the University, which is what I attend the school for. Within the dance department each dance major chooses a concentration in either jazz, modern, or ballet, but all concentrations are on the same level of intensity and each dancer is required to be well versed in each dance form. A large majority of students at Point Park are dance majors and many also complete a double major or minor in their time at Point Park.
