Point University

Founded in 1937, Point University is a private liberal arts institution that educates students to impact culture for Christ. The University provides a broad, comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for their chosen professions and awards associate, bachelor's, and masters degrees. Point is equipping the next generation to take their faith into the marketplace in new and culturally relevant ways—to erase the lines between who they are and what they do so that they see life and mission as one and the same.

Point University was founded as Atlanta Christian College in 1937 by Judge T. O. Hathcock (1879-1966), who served on the bench in Fulton County, Georgia, from 1914 until 1942. Point University’s main campus is located in West Point, GA, while its historic campus was located in East Point, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta. The campus was a part of a 300-acre farm inherited by Mrs. Hathcock. With a barn, livestock and cultivated fields, the campus in its earliest days had a distinctly rural flavor.
