The World Is Your Classroom

At Peninsula College, learning is not confined to enclosed classrooms or the lecture hall. Instead, the entire campus and the Olympic Peninsula become teaching laboratories as students and faculty move outdoors to take full advantage of all that our unique area has to offer.

You might find a class meeting in the middle of the college plaza on a bright sunny day, or see our incredible PC Jazz Ensemble performing in front of the Pirate Union Building (PUB). It's not unusual to find small groups of students and their instructors taking a field trip to the nearby ocean, Olympic National Park, or the rain forest to discover and study native marine life, fauna, and flora in their natural habitats.

You can even spend one or more quarters studying in another country if you choose or take language and cultural classes from visiting professors from other countries. At Peninsula College, we have developed a unique educational experience carefully designed for the success of each student.
