Why did you choose Point Park University’s psychology program?

Point Park’s psychology program felt distinctively unique. It isn't just the usual academic routine; they offer a holistic, humanistic approach that resonates with me. The curriculum seemed more comprehensive than other universities, making it an easy choice.

Which faculty members have had a significant impact on you?

Dr. Tricia Brown has been particularly influential. Her psychology classes aren't just about learning; they're about understanding and growing. She continuously pushes boundaries, making every lesson memorable.

How is your degree program helping you become career-ready?

Beyond just academic knowledge, Point Park emphasizes practical skills and real-world applications. The psychology program is designed to prepare us not just for exams, but for the challenges we'll face in our careers.
