School of Continuing and Professional Studies

Point Park University’s School of Professional Studies is where working professionals, career changers, and lifelong learners find the support they need to keep moving forward. We design flexible, career-focused programs that meet learners where they are, helping them sharpen their skills while advancing towards their goals.

From our transfer-friendly M.A. in Professional Studies to hands-on certificate programs in brewing, distilling, and winemaking science – the only ones of their kind in Western PA – we design education that speaks directly to the region’s workforce needs. Beyond that, our additional noncredit programs open even more doors, inviting learners to explore emerging fields like esports, or strengthen their communication and networking skills through our professional etiquette class.

When you give to the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, you’re not just funding classes – you’re opening doors. Your support provides scholarships that make it possible for hardworking learners to balance work, family, and education while pursuing their dreams. On this Day of Giving, your gift helps ease financial burdens, create new opportunities, and empower students to achieve their career goals.
