[edit] Ranking claim

User:Stevejabs repeatedly adds a claim that Point Parks ranks among the lowest schools in the country. I cannot judge this but such a claim has to be substantiated with references. - Lylum 02:37, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Steve Jabs is also a moron and doesn't know what he's talking about...the school isn't one of the lowest stupid. It is one of the best dance, theater, journalism schools in the country. Hey Steve, if you don't like it so much, why do you go here? Hmmmmmmm....

[edit] Please add

Facts about the Playhouse? Prominent for dance and performing arts? University status in 2004? (unsigned comment)

[edit] Updates

My name is J. James. I am going to be updating this page as a sort of pet project - at least to pull it out of the stub category. I just wanted to notify its usual contributors that you'll be seeing more Abbajabanana changes.

Point Park is a university, as the Point Park University page correctly points out. However, on the bottom of that page and on all other Pittsburgh Universities and Colleges, Point Park University is listed as a college. I don't know how to change that universally, but given the fact that Point Park got accreditation to be a university, someone should change its status. Joshel03 02:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photography/Photojournalism

The claim that Point Park is top ranked in the amount of photography and photojournalism classes is a slant on the truth. Point Park offers, as of Spring 2007, the following classes in photography...

• Black and White I
• Black and White II
• Color Photography
• Advertising Photography
• Sports Photography

PLUS MANY MORE-GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.8.32.51 (talk) 00:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

All of the other classes offered in photography are through Pittsburgh Filmmakers, and not strictly through the University.

Point Park also only offers two classes in photojournalism, which are:

• Photojournalism I, a class that, as far as I know, is offered in either the spring or fall, but not both
• Photojournalism II, which has been an option for students one time as of this posting
