[edit] History

The original campus of Pacific Union College in Healdsburg, California

Pacific Union College was founded as Healdsburg Academy in 1882 in Healdsburg, California in northern Sonoma County.[3] It was renamed Healdsburg College in 1899.[3] Sidney Brownsberger was its first President.[4] PUC was California's twelfth college and second founded by the Adventist Church, the first west of the Mississippi.[5] In 1906 the name was changed to Pacific Union College. In 1909 it moved to its current location in Angwin, on Howell Mountain in neighboring Napa County, where the school had purchased the 1,636-acre Angwin Resort for $60,000.[6] One reason for relocating to Angwin Resort was its beautiful rural setting,[7] which continues to be a defining characteristic.[8]

In 1933, Pacific Union College became the first higher educational institution affiliated with the Adventist Church to achieve regional accreditation when it was awarded accreditation by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools.[9] The year before, PUC had become the first school to receive denominational accreditation.[9] Pacific Union College also was the first Adventist school to form international affiliations; it affiliated with what is now Avondale College in Australia in 1954.[9]

[edit] Presidents

Main article: List of Presidents of Pacific Union College

Pacific Union College has had a total of twenty-one presidents. The first eight of these served while the school was still in Healdsburg. Sidney Brownsberger, serving four years from 1882 to 1886, was the first president. In 1983, Malcolm Maxwell became the first alumnus to lead PUC, serving for a record 18 years. The current President is Heather Knight who took office in 2009 after serving as the Provost at Andrews University.

[edit] Academics

Pacific Union College is the only four-year college located in Napa County, California.[10] Pacific Union College offers bachelor degrees, associate degrees and pre-professional programs. It has been recognized for its strong undergraduate program. It is the only liberal arts college affiliated with the Adventist Church according to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.[11][a] Students number approximately 1,500[12], and the school maintains a student/teacher ratio of 13:1.[12][13] PUC's most popular departments are Business, Nursing, Biology, and Psychology & Social Work. It has a very strong pre-med program, and is one of the largest sources of students for Loma Linda University School of Medicine. According to the Angwin Community Council, the college "has been the training ground for an inordinately large number of outstanding physicians, dentists, nurses, teachers and theologians...among its well over 50,000 alumni..."[8]

Pacific Union College operates on a quarter-based academic calendar.[12]

Some departments at Pacific Union College require students to submit a senior thesis project to complete their degrees.[14]

In 2006 the faculty, administration and Board of Trustees underscored PUC's commitment to undergraduate education by making a formal decision to remain a college and not change its name to university, as other small private colleges had done. This decision was based on the institution's commitment to quality liberal arts undergraduate teaching.[15]

The U.S. News and World Report ranked Pacific Union College as one of their "Top Tier Schools" in the Western Baccalaureate Colleges category for 17 consecutive years until 2010.[3][16] In 2011, for the first time ever, Pacific Union College was ranked as a National Liberal Arts College alongside the likes of Williams and Amherst.

College Prowler also ranks Pacific Union College as a top school in a number of categories as of January 2012.[17] The rankings are based on surveys taken by current students at the school.
