This is a Christian college who claims its intent is to educate students in an environment that promotes Biblical principles. The quality of the education I received there was comparible to curricula I've seen from other universities. The professors are very qualified and knowledgeable in their field.

The issue is with PCC's accreditation status. While the engineering program meets technical requirements for ABET accreditation, it has chosen not to pursue it because of certain "faith based" reasons. However,accreditation is quickly becoming the standard requirement for many businesses and graduate schools. Also, many states are restricting engineers with unaccredited degrees from sitting for professional licensure examination (FE and PE). In the college catalog, PCC has stated in the past that it has chosen not to pursue accreditation because of certain "philosophical distinctives." This is an honorable reason, but does not really apply to a major that is primarily applied mathematics and uses secular textbooks already. PCC does help graduates overcome these challenges, but it tends to be a scramble to find loopholes to exploit than a real solution to the problem.

Ultimately, a young Cristian's choice to attend PCC should be based primarily on what he believes is God's will for his life. However, a prosepective engineering student must realize that it will be an ongoing challenge to remain competitive in the engineering market with an unaccredited degree.
