Teach in California
Students in PUC’s mathematics program can expect to graduate qualified to pass California’s qualification test to teach math.
You’re What Employers Want
Mathematicians are of high value throughout government and industry to help teams make sense of data, design new products, create forecasts, and work on anything involving pattern recognition and analysis.
Skip the TA
Unlike at other, larger schools, PUC students are able to get hands-on experience with high tech modern lab equipment from Day One, without having to go through a Teaching Assistant to get there.
On-Campus Observatory
The department of physics manages the Young Observatory, a fully functional and modern observatory a short walk from the heart of campus. Talk to your professors about access.
Collaborate with Prestigious Laboratories
Dr. Andrianarijaona (Dr. Vola) has received two National Science Foundation grants, allowing the department to collaborate on experiments with prestigious national laboratories including Lawrence Livermore and Oak Ridge, giving PUC’s undergrad students exclusive access to experiments and scientists across the country.

Young Observatory Reopens and Obtains New Technology
After five years, the Young Observatory at Pacific Union College reopened and added new facilities, including a newly installed telescope. Through the generosity of a donor, those funds were used to purchase a new telescope, a handheld computer to use the older telescope, and parts to restore the original observatory telescope, which were needed to reopen the observatory. The new telescope is a 12-inch Celestron reflector mounted on a tripod, currently set up in the observatory parking lot, but since it runs on a battery, it can be set up anywhere, whether at PUC or elsewhere.
