Pensacola Christian College

I feel that Pensacola Christian College prepared me very well for my field of work. PCC developed the A Beka reading program, which is what my school uses, and I have been named the 'go-to girl' for any questions, advice, or help in teaching from that curriculum. I have been observed by fellow teachers, because my administrators are impressed with my teaching performance thus far. My only concern is that PCC is not an accredited institution. I am currently studying and testing for the Praxis Series tests, after which I will apply for my Pennsylvania State Certification. My ultimate reason for desiring this certification is to obtain my Master's Degree in Education. Because of my wonderful training at PCC, my principal considers me to be a very highly qualified teacher, and is willing to assist me in any way possible in completing my certification and furthering my education. I would recommend Pensacola Christian College to anyone with a desire to be a teacher. You will gain practical experience and knowledge that is second to none.

Things I really appreciated about PCC:

1. I had super Christian roommates. NEVER did a roommate come in drunk, have a boyfriend overnight, or have wild parties late at night.

2. PCC facilities are much nicer than any other campus. I loved having a bathroom in our room.
3. I had NO DEBT when I graduated from college!
4. Other students cared about me, and prayed for me when I had a test, didn't feel well, or had a big decision.

5. Instructors, all obviously dedicated Christians, started each class with prayer! What a change from my public school education.

6. PCC is run in a businesslike manner. This means well-maintained facilities, reasonable tuition costs, and confidence that our school was financially secure.

7. I had to "check out" when I left campus and "check in" when I returned. During my college years, there was a student in another college who was abducted and no one noticed them missing for over 7 days. My parents and I were happy for a college who cared about my safety.8. Occasionally students come to PCC even though they don't want to live in a Christian atmosphere. Some quickly turn to Christ for salvation or direction in life. Others don't do well. It's clear when they post on the internet who they are - a Christian will notice their language, pictures, and attitudes reflective of those who are against living a dedicated Christian life.

If you go to a Christian college, you will get a Christian world view and Christian philosophy. Even if you a Christian, secular colleges will subconsciously fill your mind with humanism. PCC had a tremendous impact on my life and played a role in the Lord's molding me to the person I am today. The education I received (mathematics and physical education) was top-notch. My principal couldn't believe I was a first year teacher. Pray about your college choice and LISTEN to Him and let God make this important decision for you.
