Why Choose Point University?

"Why choose Point?” I have worked with Point University for 15 years. Ten of those years were in enrollment, and I have been asked some version of this question countless times. It’s the same question that any enrollment person is asked about their university, and while many of us share some of the same reasons, I believe Point is truly one of a kind. I did not attend Point University for my undergraduate degree; I studied at a fairly large public university. In fact, other than Ivy League schools and big names, I didn’t really know much about any private university when I was a student. When I started working at Point University, I decided to take a few classes so I could better share and understand the student experience. Here is what I learned:

1. My first day of class, I realized one of the most special things about Point: your professors really care! It was not until my junior or senior year at my large public university that any professor actually knew my name. After my first class at Point, the professor was on a first-name basis. I was on campus, but online students report that they share the same experience. Professors care, and they know you (by name)!
2. Point University has high-quality academics with world-class support.
3. Point values your work experience and what you have already learned along the way. When you attend Point University, you will have opportunities to earn academic credits for real-life work experience and training. You'll find you are able to apply this knowledge in the classroom and apply what you learned in the classroom at work!

Now, while I loved my class experience, there are a few things available now that I think are even more of a reason to choose Point:

• ONLINE CLASSES: You can take classes every eight weeks and have plenty of flexibility to balance work, life, and school!
• FREE TUITION: Your employer can subscribe to a program with Point University and Ficus Education - they pay for your tuition, and you graduate debt free!
• And much more!

Going to college can be exciting, scary, overwhelming, and life changing. But if you choose Point, you will find that you are supported, encouraged, and valued every step of the way.

Choose Point today; you will be glad you did!
