Close-up hands-on learning
After beginning a career or graduate studies, our graduates often point to one person at PLU who had a profound influence on their intellectual development. Invariably, it's a professor. And in many cases, it's more than just one.
Our faculty view your individual growth and success as the most important part of the PLU experience.
It's a result of what we call learning together. At PLU, you'll have very few large lecture classes and all classes are taught by professors, not teaching assistants. Most of your time in class will be close-up, hands-on, working with your professors and fellow classmates. This ability to work closely with faculty on research or creative projects is something undergraduate students at most universities - large or small - do not experience.
No matter what you plan to do after you earn your PLU degree, you'll have gained the experience that employers and graduate programs want.
