After graduating with a degree from BJU, I did some graduate work at PCC. One thing that I would disagree with is the frequent assertion that PCC has high academics—in fact, from my experiences sitting in the classroom, interacting with teachers, and working with PCC grads, the academic level at PCC is somewhere between Sunday School and High School.

One year was enough for me. I transferred to another seminary and was satisfied with my theological education from that point forward.

I have also taught for several years using ABeka materials and have attended the summer teachers' enrichment conferences. PCC's curriculum is woefully below par (replicating printing, fact, and philosophical errors through multiple revisions) and their educational philosophy for high schoolers—that high schoolers are to be constantly drilled on facts, without attempting to ensure understanding—seems to be replicated within the grad school.

My brother-in-law currently attends, and tries to put a brave face on it when I ask him about it. But he seems to realize that all the promises of low tuition and the will of God are simply argumentative drapes for a school that really isn't very academically sophisticated.

I wouldn't go back. I sort of doubt that you should. Mark me unimpressed…
