Point Park University Admissions

Point Park University has an open admission policy with an 82% acceptance rate. Most applicants who meet basic requirements get accepted. The middle 50% of students score between 1030-1245 on the SAT or around 23 on the ACT. These scores are below national averages but reflect the school's focus on talent and potential rather than just test performance. Point Park seeks students passionate about the performing arts, particularly those interested in dance, theater, and film production. The admissions team values creative portfolios, auditions, and demonstrated commitment to the arts over standardized test scores. Students who thrive here are collaborative, willing to perform publicly, and eager to build industry connections in Pittsburgh's active downtown arts scene.
