There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a college. Financial aid, majors available, and location are just some aspects to think about. At PUC, we know how Adventist higher education is even more important. We want to make sure you invest your time, energy, and money into the best education you can possibly get. Here’s why PUC could be the right fit for you. 

Career Preparation 

Our devoted faculty and staff are ready to help instill the knowledge, skills, and training you need for your chosen career. If you don’t know what profession to pursue, that’s okay! PUC is a place to explore your options to help you decide what career is right for you. 

Student-Teacher Ratio 

With a 12:1 ratio, your professors will be able to give you the time and attention you need that you wouldn’t get at a bigger college or university. With your professors knowing who you are, it will be easier for you to get the assistance you need to succeed in your classes. 

Location 

With the Bay Area and Silicon Valley a drive away, you have the opportunity to step into the world of healthcare, art, technology, marketing, business, and everything in between. This helps land potential internships with innovative companies, which allows you to network and score a job. Healthcare students get hands-on experience at leading hospitals in Northern California and build connections with employees that help them jumpstart their careers. 

Network Opportunities  

Our graduates work for exciting companies such as Buzzfeed, Lucasfilm, Apple, Google, National Geographic, Loma Linda University, and Stanford University. We connect our students to alumni that work in the fields of their interests to network to seek advice and help get their foot in the door. 

Personal Development 

A personal benefit to getting an education at PUC is growing as an individual. You’ll learn, change, and transition into new experiences. Besides the skills needed for your future job, you will also acquire the traits you need to live a more structured lifestyle. Developing your passions and being exposed to sets of people and ideas will help you grow and learn every day. No matter what your major is, what your passions are, and who you are, you will do well here.

Community Support 

Once you apply to PUC, you are automatically part of the Pioneer’s family. From your enrollment counselor to your academic advisor to your residence dean, we will assist you throughout your entire enrollment process and answer any questions you and your parents have. Throughout your educational journey, your professors will help you reach your goals and encourage you to pursue your passions.

Higher education can lead you to many opportunities and plays an important role in your life. PUC ensures students are well-supported as they strive to reach their full potential in all areas of life and are committed to giving you or your student the best of higher education.
