Point Park University Day of Giving has ended, but it's never too late to give. Click here to make a gift.

School of Communication

It's an exciting time for Point Park University’s School of Communication. All seven of its programs—broadcasting; digital journalism; graphic and interactive design; multimedia; photography; public relations, advertising, social media, and sports communication—have been updated in the past three years.

The School of Communication also plans to become the first accredited communication school in Western Pennsylvania.

But we need your help to financially support current students and to recruit the next generation of communication students. Through donations on Day of Giving and throughout the year via our Donor-funded Scholarships, we are dedicated to providing our students with an outstanding educational experience, ensuring they are well-prepared for success in their chosen field.
