A leading national and international business and educational center, Pittsburgh is a magnet of attraction for international business activities with service, high-technology and industrial sectors.
Six of the Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in Pittsburgh. From U.S. Steel Corp and H.J. Heinz to PPG Industries and Mellon Financial Corp, Pittsburgh has a vast array of business opportunities for Point Park College students. Moreover, a number of international corporations from Asia, Europe and Latin America can be found in the Pittsburgh area.
Located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, Point Park College students have a geographic advantage over other colleges. Students have the opportunity to live and work in a major metropolitan area as well as interact with Pittsburgh business executives. Colleges such as Point Park College believe in hands-on learning. Often local businesses and organizations hold weekly, monthly and annual meetings at the college giving students the opportunity to meet potential employers.
Pittsburgh also has a thriving cultural district that gives Pittsburgh residents and visitors the opportunity to spend an evening with the symphony or enjoy the afternoon at the theatre before dining at one of Pittsburgh's numerous restaurants. All year round the city offers weekend events. However, the summertime thrives with events, which showcase the city and its vitality.
The Three Rivers Regatta for example is a weekend at Point State Park that allows event-goers to participate in activities on Pittsburgh's three rivers. When the Regatta is not in session many simply spend a day at "the Point" relaxing in the sun and escape in the view of the city skyline and the Mount Washington Inclines while cooling-off in the mist from the Point State Park fountain.
