Point Park University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Point Park University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $37,650, with $1,920 in required fees. Point Park reported the same tuition and fee amounts for in-state and out-of-state students. These published charges come before scholarships and grants.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $39,570 for the academic year.
• Reported room and board: $14,020 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,200 for the academic year.

Together, those three categories total $54,790, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific costs can add to it. Housing and meal choices can also change the amount billed. Do not add a separate room or meal charge to the combined room-and-board figure again.

Net price offers a different perspective because it subtracts grant and scholarship aid from an estimated cost of attendance. For students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, Point Park's reported average net price was $22,064; the reported average for the $75,001-$110,000 income band was $27,325. Neither figure is an individual price quote. In the reported aid data, 99% of students received financial aid, while 74% had student loans. Point Park students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Pennsylvania state aid when eligible, and institutional scholarships; veteran and military education benefits may also apply. The FAFSA and the university's aid instructions establish which applications and deadlines apply. Because loans must generally be repaid, applicants should compare offers by separating grants from borrowing and then calculating their remaining annual expense.

What are the work-study opportunities at Point Park University?

Point Park students can look for part-time employment while enrolled, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid: eligible students generally must file the FAFSA, receive an award, find a qualifying position, and earn wages by working. An award is not money paid automatically at the start of a term.

Students without Work-Study may still be eligible for other campus positions. The financial aid and student employment offices can explain where current openings are posted, how hours are approved, and whether an off-campus position qualifies for Work-Study. Point Park's career services resources include individual career planning, résumé and interview assistance, job-search tools, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services may help students seek internships or longer-term work, but an internship is not required of every undergraduate and career support should not be confused with a verified employment outcome.
