Point Park University

The University began as a small business training college in 1933 under the direction of Dorothy Finkelhor and L. Herbert Finkelhor. By 1960, the business school had grown to more than 800 students and moved into the building now known as Academic Hall, on Wood Street in Downtown Pittsburgh. That year it became known as Point Park Junior College, named for the city's historic Point State Park. 

Our dynamic, urban campus provides every opportunity for high-level learning and professional development within our more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programs through our Conservatory of Performing Arts, Rowland School of Business and Schools of Arts and Sciences, Education and Communication.

The Office of Institutional Research and Planning is responsible for providing Point Park University leadership with information that supports institutional planning, policy formation and decision making. The office serves as a comprehensive source for information about the University, provides data to meet various state and federal requirements, and generates essential University reports.
