Pacific Union College (PUC) is a private, coeducational liberal arts college located in Napa Valley, California. Its campus is located in the upper valley town of Angwin, eight miles north of St. Helena, California. It is the only four-year college in Napa County, California.

Pacific Union College was established in Healdsburg, California in 1882. It is the twelfth oldest institution of higher education in the state of California. In 1906, PUC changed its name from Healdsburg College to Pacific Union College. In 1909, the college moved to its present location in Angwin on Howell Mountain, overlooking California's Napa Valley wine country. The school was ranked America's Most Beautiful College in 2012 by Newsweek and The Daily Beast in part due to its setting in the Napa Valley.

A residential college, it serves an almost exclusively undergraduate student body the overwhelming majority of which live on campus.

PUC is the only liberal arts college affiliated with the Adventist Church. It was also the first school affiliated with the denomination receive regional accreditation when the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools granted it accreditation in 1933.

In the fall of 2011, enrollment at Pacific Union College stood at over 1,500 students. Students choose from a variety of courses offered in over 70 concentrations of study offered by the school's 20 academic departments. The campus occupies 150 acres (0.61 km2) of the college's 1,900 acres (7.7 km2) property.

History

An early image of Pacific Union College's campus overlooking the Napa Valley

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]

Presidents

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.

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][lower-alpha 1] 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 the largest source 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]

Rankings

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, the same category used for schools like Williams (ranked #1) and Amherst (ranked #2). Pacific Union College was not ranked in the top 178. U.S. News did rank PUC second among liberal arts colleges for diversity in both 2011 and 2012.[17]

In 2012, Pacific Union College was named America's Most Beautiful College by Newsweek and The Daily Beast.[18] The ranking reflected data on student attractiveness, weather as measured by the number of sunny days per year and the area’s comfort index, which measures humidity and afternoon temperatures, and campus' aesthetics and surrounding area.[18]

College Prowler also ranks Pacific Union College as a top school in a number of categories as of January 2012.[19] The rankings are based on surveys taken by current students at the school. College Prowler ranked Pacific Union College's intramural athletics first out of 932 schools ranked as well as its academic advisors and friendliest students (of both genders). Pacific Union College was also listed in the top 50 for having the most spacious and cleanest dorms, best vegetarian/vegan friendly options in the dining hall, most athletic, friendly and hot girls, most friendly and hot guys, having the friendly locals and most manageable workloads.[19]

Pacific Union College was listed as a "College of Distinction" in 2011 by Student Horizons, a college research service.[20] The Colleges of Distinction are a unique group of over 200 colleges and universities which "excel at engaging students, providing outstanding teaching, offering vibrant communities and producing successful outcomes" in providing a strong and active undergraduate education.[21] PUC's profile on the Colleges of Distinction website states that it is a "destination campus in the world-famous Napa Valley" and a "hidden gem in the hills of Northern California."[22]

Accreditation

Pacific Union College is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the regional accreditation body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for its region.[23] In August 2011, following a six-year review process, WASC "awarded Pacific Union College uninterrupted [re-]accreditation through 2018."[24][25] The college was first accredited by WASC in 1951.[26]

In addition to institution-wide accreditation by WASC, many of PUC's programs and departments are accredited by their programmatic accreditation bodies. These include the Music Department and the Paulin Center for the Creative Arts which are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, the Department of Business Administration and Economics which has been accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education since 2002, when it became the only Adventist college to receive such accreditation; the Education Department which is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the Nursing Department which is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National League for Nursing and the State of California's Board of Nursing, and the Social Work Program, which has been accredited since 1982 by the Council on Social Work Education.[27][28][29][30][31][32]

Campus and facilities

Pacific Union College's main campus is on about 150 acres (0.61 km2) of the college's 1,900 acres (7.7 km2) property.[33] The school has over 30 miles of hiking and biking trails on the remaining property.[33] PUC's campus is located 70 miles (110 km) north of San Francisco, 60 miles (85 km) from the Pacific Ocean, and 180 miles (290 km) southwest of the skiing resorts in Truckee and Lake Tahoe.

Endowment and Development

In the summer of 2006, PUC's Board of Trustees announced its intention to enlarge its endowment through the sale and development of a portion of its land holdings into an ecovillage. The initial plans called for 591 homes and improvements to local businesses and shops.[48] The original proposal specified master planned development, conservation easements and lot sales affecting approximately 885 acres (3.58 km2) out of PUC's current holdings of over 1,800 acres (7.3 km2).[citation needed] PUC announced on April 3, 2007 that in response to community input it had decided to reduce the planned number of housing units by 200, to 391.[49] On October 4, 2010, Pacific Union College and Triad Corporation announced a decision to abandon the project.[50]

Student life

Pacific Union College's stated focus is on undergraduate education. In the fall of 2011, 1,567 students were enrolled at PUC.[51] As a residential college, the vast majority of these students live in one of seven on-campus residence halls or school-owned apartments.

Cycling is a popular activity at Pacific Union College. The school maintains an extensive network of trails and hosts two annual bicycle races. The 2009 Tour of California, an international road race wholly contained within California, raced through PUC.[52]

Diversity

Pacific Union College embraces diversity as part of its mission and as a prerequisite for a liberal arts education.[53] In its Diversity Statement, Pacific Union College states that it understands diversity to include aspects listed in the WASC Statement of Diversity: race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender, age, religious belief, sexual orientation and disability.[53] It goes on to state that PUC supports a campus climate of "genuine appreciation, rather than mere tolerance, for community members representing the full range of human diversity."[53]

The US News and World Report ranks Pacific Union College second out of 219 ranked National Liberal Arts Colleges for Campus Ethnic Diversity.[54] It also ranks PUC as a top 100 National Liberal Arts College for Economic Diversity and Most International Students.[55][56]

In May 2013, a story in the school's student newspaper, the Campus Chronicle, reported on the school's non-religious population. It noted that although the student population "often identifies as religious," the official count that only 1.1% of students identify as non-thesistic is probably understating the figure.

Student organizations

There are more than 50 clubs, Honor's Associations and Student Ministries active on campus at Pacific Union College. These include the Biology Club, Asian Student Association, Pre-Med Club, Korean Adventist Student Association, Dramatic Arts Society, Musical Arts Symposium, Homeless Ministry, Psi Chi, College Democrats and others. There are several student publications including the newspaper, Campus Chronicle, the Funnybook (book of faces), and a literary periodical, Quicksilver.

REVO PUC

In 2008, Pacific Union College students founded the first campus branch of REVO,[lower-alpha 2] an international philanthropy movement.[57] It is Pacific Union College's student-run philanthropical organization and selects a cause each year to support with fundraising and awareness events.[57] During its inaugural year (2008-2009 school year), REVO raised over $10,000 for a shelter and vocational center for trafficked and abused children in Lima, Peru, during the 2009-2010 school year it raised money for the Napa Valley Food Bank.[58] In 2011, REVO announced that it had raised over $10,000 for its project for the school-year ending that year, a self-sustaining community kitchen in Argentina's Salta province through ADRA.[59]

Dramatic Arts Society

The Dramatic Arts Society is a campus club that was formed in 1990 by students Kimberly Howard and Joel Kindrick. The club's constitution states that it must be student run, with a faculty adviser overseeing activities, and that its mission is to give students opportunities in the performing arts field. Hundreds of students are now alumni of this club with many going on to professions in the entertainment field.[citation needed] Among the many DAS productions over the years have been: Twelfth Night, Hamlet, The Crucible, The Misanthrope, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, Fiddler on the Roof and original works like This Adventist Life and Red Books: Our Search for Ellen White.[7][60][61]
