Point University announced today the addition of four new major programs and one new minor program to provide students with expertise in high-growth fields. New offerings include majors in certified financial planning, cybersecurity, healthcare administration and supply chain management and a minor in cybersecurity.
“Our partnership with Rize is a tremendous opportunity for our residential students,” said Dr. Todd Weaver, dean of the Stith College of Business. “It has allowed Stith College of Business to add three new majors in desirable career fields in a matter of months, and students will be able to register for those programs this fall. These new programs will not only benefit our existing students, but they will also be attractive to new students who might not have considered Point before. I’m excited to begin this partnership, and I’m hopeful that we will continue adding new programs in the years to come.”
“I am proud of our partnership with the Lower Cost Models for Independent Colleges Consortium and Rize Education,” said Dr. Jon Ernstberger, chief academic officer. “Through this partnership, we are able to offer our students high-demand, high-quality academic programs at a fraction of the cost. The Rize team has been exceptional in supporting us to swiftly implement these programs, so that our students may begin to explore these new offerings as soon as possible.”
The new programs are available beginning in the fall 2025 semester through a partnership with the Lower Cost Models Consortium (LCMC) and Rize Education. The LCMC is a strategic partnership of private colleges and universities across the country collaborating with Rize Education to provide access to a cutting-edge curriculum that prepares students for successful careers.
