Pacific Union College's Clark HallWelcome to PUC’s Reaccredidation website. Here you will find a summary of the reaccredidation process, our plan for demonstrating our commitment to the accreditation standards of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), copies of our accreditation documents, and links to information about PUC.
In 1933 Pacific Union College was the first Adventist College or University to receive regional accreditation, by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools, and we were first granted WASC accreditation in 1951. We were granted full reaccredidation in 1999, and we are currently working under the new WASC standards on a process that began in the summer of 2005 and will continue at least through our scheduled Educational Effectiveness Review in spring 2011.
Our campus community has embraced the opportunity to invigorate internal and external conversations about who we are and how we can continually improve student learning. We are proud of our long and rich tradition of offering an Adventist Christian, quality education in the liberal arts tradition in a residential, rural setting. We also want to learn more about where we need to improve, and about how we can implement procedures that will allow us to be continually learning and improving. Our goal is to become a true learning community.
Thank-you for reviewing the material presented here and for your important role in helping us better realize our mission. Please contact me, or any of our administrative or WASC Planning Committee team, if you have any questions or feedback.
