Mitch,
The academic quality of Point Park depends on your major. Anything in the Conservatory, sports arts and entertaiment management, and
PR are good. For the most part I would consider the other majors to be similar to a community college experience. I don't know too much about the academic majors but I wouldn't describe the academic classes I've had as particularly stimulating. The Gen Ed requirements for Conservatory students are different from the specialized major classes though. I have a few friends in the majors I mentioned above and they are all more than happy with the programs. I'm not the best person to ask about academic classes here since i've only had 3 so far and they were mostly with Conservatory students. However I would say that your impression of Point Park was probably pretty close to how we operate during the fall and spring terms as well. Hope that clears some stuff up for you.
