Making College Possible
At Point, our Christian faith grounds our mission and informs how we operate. We are equipping the next generation to take their faith into the marketplace in new and culturally-relevant ways—erasing the lines between who they are and what they do. We want students to see their life and their mission as one and the same.
Our Mission
To educate students for Christ-centered service and leadership throughout the world.
Our Goals
Point University believes that the goal of education is the development of the total person. Both Point’s degree programs and campus culture are designed to encourage students to grow spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically and professionally.
- Spiritually – We seek to encourage students to grow their faith in Jesus Christ, develop a Christian worldview, live by Christian virtues, and serve others.
- Intellectually – We seek to encourage students to think analytically and critically, communicate effectively, and demonstrate competence in biblical and theological studies, the arts and sciences, and professional studies.
- Socially – We seek to encourage students to live harmoniously in community.
- Physically – We seek to encourage students to develop healthy lifestyles.
- Professionally – We seek to encourage students to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue their chosen career.
Bold Moves
For more than 75 years, we have had a bold vision to make college a possibility for all types of learners. Founded as Atlanta Christian College, we have grown from a school focused solely on training ministers and missionaries into a Christian liberal arts University that serves all types of students. Our Christian faith remains at the heart of the Point experience.
As we have grown, Point has also adapted, offering programs that prepare students for new and emerging careers. In 2012, we embraced a new name, Point University, and a new location in West Point, Georgia, to better serve a growing and diverse student body.
We are focused on creating educational opportunities for all types of learners, with programs available in many formats, while helping students integrate their career goals with their faith.
