If you're pursuing a transfer degree, you'll find many exciting opportunities to explore a full range of academic and artistic pursuits. Each year student talents are celebrated through a week-long Student Arts Week, which showcases student work in theater, art, music, and more. Included in the events are concerts by the PC Instrumental Jazz and Vocal Ensembles, poetry and prose readings, a special student art show in the PUB Art Gallery, and a Welding art show.
Students interested in journalism work on a prize-winning online student newspaper, The Buccaneer. They also regularly attend conferences to learn more about the art of journalism, traveling to New York to tour and meet journalists at prestigious institutions such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Students and community members can contribute original writing, photographs, music, and works of art to Peninsula College’s award-winning online and print literary arts magazine, Tidepools. Cash prizes are awarded to first, second, and third place winners. All of the contributors are honored with a reception in the spring and give several readings in our local communities.
Numerous research and travel opportunities are available to our science students, who study and work in Keegan Hall, our Science and Technology building. Research opportunities abound on the Peninsula. Outstanding outdoor resources, such as Olympic National Park and state and national forests, encourage scientific inquiry and lead to exciting projects.
Under Guided Pathways, students interested in pursuing an Arts and Sciences transfer degree can choose an Area of Study in Arts & Communications, Social Science & Education, or Math & Science.
