At the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference session in Atlanta this summer, visitors to the Pacific Union College exhibit booth were confronted with a tough decision.
Pacific Union College was ranked among the region’s 10 best baccalaureate colleges by U.S. News and World Report’s annual “America’s Best Colleges” issue—one of the best-known and most reputable sources for college rankings.
Most college students would jump at the opportunity to
travel Italy for five weeks of summer and call it academic credit. That is
exactly what a group of seven PUC Honors students did from June 30-July 28, but
this dream educational opportunity was a little more complicated than it
sounds.
