Founded in 1880, PC is a fully accredited, private, residential, baccalaureate institution affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The College provides a liberal arts education within a community of faith, learning, and intellectual freedom. As a nationally-ranked college, Presbyterian College sustains a Christian heritage of integrity and service, not only by striving for academic excellence, but also by a comprehensive honor code, wide-ranging opportunities for volunteer service, and close attention to the needs of each student. The compelling purpose of Presbyterian College is to develop the mental, physical, moral, and spiritual capacities of each student in preparation for a lifetime of personal and vocational fulfillment and responsible contribution to the global community. Peterson's Competitive Colleges, The Fiske Guide to Colleges, and Barron's Best Buys in College Education consistently recognize PC as an outstanding institution. U. S. News lists PC as one of 360 "Best Values" among national liberal arts colleges, and Washington Monthly listed PC as the top liberal arts college in the nation in 2007. Six PC professors have been recognized as SC CASE Professors of the Year. The Russell Program helps PC students recognize the influence and responsibilities of modern communications media. Recent on-campus speakers have included newspaper columnist David Broder, author/journalist Bill Moyers, media critic Jean Kilbourne, former White House Press Secretary DeeDee Myers, television anchor Soledad O'Brien, and gifted economist/author Ben Stein. Our Cultural Enrichment Program brings outstanding speakers and performers to campus each year. Some recent performers have included the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats, the Boston Brass, and tenor Rodrick Dixon. Study abroad opportunities for students abound. PC's collaborative partnership with Ghuizou University in China expands the global awareness of students and faculty through academic and cultural exchanges. PC also has a cooperative program with the University of Havana in Cuba. Our Washington Semester program allows students to participate in an academically challenging internship in the DC area as part of their coursework for the fall term. The PC-at-Oxford program is a joint venture with Corpus Christi College at Oxford University. Students at PC have unique opportunities to interact with faculty through freshman seminar courses, research, internships, independent study, and capstone experiences. A living-learning approach to residence life offers faculty and students opportunities within the residence halls for small study groups. Personal attention and interaction between faculty and students is a hallmark at PC. Our faculty are very student-centered and truly care about our students as individuals. More More
