Life at PUC
PUC Launches Its 121st Academic Year
By Amy Bauer-Heald on December 18, 2007
Classes begin at Pacific Union College on September 24, 2001, when the nationally recognized liberal arts college will open its doors for the college’s 121st academic year.
From its inception in 1882, Pacific Union College has provided Christian education with an emphasis on academic excellence. This emphasis can still be seen today, as PUC continues to rank among the nation’s best. For the eighth straight year, U.S. News and World Report ranks PUC in the top ten among western comprehensive colleges--a category that includes fourteen states. And currently, among regional liberal arts colleges in California, PUC ranks number one.
Pacific Union College is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and has an average yearly enrollment of 1,600 students. The school is located in Angwin, at the north end of the Napa Valley, and is currently accepting applications for the 2001-2001 school year.
