Design Your Career with an M.A. in Professional Studies

Point Park’s new M.A. in Professional Studies offers students flexibility and self-direction that empowers them to design a program focused on their personal education and career goals. Students with prior learning at the graduate level but no degree may be able to apply up to 18 graduate-level credits toward a professional studies degree in their chosen specialty.

Students select two fields of discipline to weave together into a customized degree to further their individual career goals. They work with a dedicated faculty advisor and success coach to identify the two disciplines and plan their Capstone project. All credits from Point Park University graduate programs are eligible to be used toward the two disciplines.
