Pensacola Christian College

Major: PreLaw and Legal (This Major's Salary over time)
The college did not prepare me well for life at all. Too much focus on religious issues and not enough on academics. Too much focus on supplying information and testing without any real teaching going on. For example, in Advanced Grammar and Composition more time was spent "preaching" their pseudo-religious prescriptive philosophy of language than any actual instruction on grammar rules and mechanics. This is the norm for many classes. Their history and political science classes were probably the best classes I took. At least there was actual knowledge imparted there, though still buried beneath extreme conservative bias.

Alumni services is terrible. They ignored me for months with no reply when I was seeking former professors for references. When i finally got a reply they merely directed me to career services. Since then I have been spammed with emails for worthless jobs working for the college, or for positions that are obviously above my qualifications (req. a master's degree when I had just graduated with a bachelor's).

Getting employed with a degree from here was an absolute disaster. I eventually gave up and worked a minimum wage job. Granted, I didn't major in the most directly employable field (Prelaw), but the lack of school negotiated internships, and the lack of concern for unemployed alumni was disappointing. Hopefully when i finally get around to graduate school my job prospects will improve, but you can be sure PCC will not be getting any credit for it from me.

I guess the old stereotype about Christian schools holds true. They're great for teaching Christianity, but not much else.
