Why Choose PUC?
There are few schools that offer the combination
of quality
education and natural beauty found at PUC. In addition to an
excellent academic environment, PUC provides an atmosphere
that lends itself to a life style of high standards and high
ethics. Students are encouraged to participate in various
religious activities on campus and in the events sponsored
by the department's Business Club, including worships,
dinners, and camping trips to the mountains and coast. There
are many opportunities for students to match their interests
with their goals and to develop leadership skills in a
Christian atmosphere.
PUC offers several business degrees and emphases in a
geographic location that is world-famous for its scenic
beauty—the Napa Valley. The pursuit of academic excellence
is aided by a quiet, mountainous environment that affords
opportunities to relax from the rigors of studies. Acres of
college-owned forest adjacent to the student residences
provide accessible options for getting out into the woods,
relaxing, and hiking. While the aesthetic qualities of
living in Northern California are unsurpassed, this natural,
rural campus location is only 80 miles from the
cosmopolitan, big-city atmosphere of downtown San Francisco.
Founded in 1882, Pacific Union College is a four-year,
Christian, liberal arts college, fully accredited with the
Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities
of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC),
by the Accreditation Association of Seventh-day Adventist
Schools, Colleges, and Universities, and with the Education
Department of the State of California. In addition to these
accreditation recognitions, the Department of Business
Administration and Economics and its programs are fully
accredited with the International Assembly for Collegiate
Business Education (IACBE) accrediting organization.
Pacific Union College has consistently been ranked by the
U.S. News & World Report college rankings in the top tier of
comprehensive colleges in the western U.S. PUC also receives
high rankings within California and for graduation rates,
campus diversity, and international students. The natural
beauty of rural Angwin, combined with excellent academic
programs, provides students with exceptional opportunities
for learning and for forming new friendships in a Christian
college environment.
