About Us:

Pacific Lutheran University is located six miles south of Tacoma, in suburban Parkland, Washington, on a 156-acre woodland campus. PLU offers approximately 3,500 students a unique blend of academically rigorous liberal arts and professional programs. Students develop skills in decision making, analysis, communication and reasoning that prepare them for a lifetime of success – both in their careers and in service to others. PLU is dedicated to developing ethical, educated, thinking leaders by challenging students to identify and ask questions of meaning and value in their own lives. Students are asked to explore their passions and purpose in life, and to uphold the university’s Lutheran heritage and commitment to academic excellence and academic freedom. PLU fosters in all students a global perspective, including an understanding of the intercultural and intellectual richness of the world and their roles as world citizens.

PLU offers a full range of liberal arts academic programs – such as psychology, history and the natural sciences – anchored by a college of arts and sciences. The university also provides students the opportunity for professional study in business, communication and arts, education, nursing, social work, and physical education. Each of these programs maintains a strong liberal arts emphasis at its core. Master’s degrees are offered in business, education, marriage and family therapy, nursing, and writing. The university was founded in 1890 by Scandinavian immigrants. Throughout its history, PLU has remained closely affiliated with the Lutheran church and is now a university of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. PLU has set out three pathways to academic distinction: global education and service to the world, student-faculty research and creative projects, and helping students discern meaning and purpose in their lives.

Global Focus: Becoming a globally focused university has become a key characteristic of PLU’s academic program. That distinction was publicly recognized in 2009 when PLU became the first university in Washington state – and the first private university on the West Coast – to receive the prestigious Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization. Today, two-thirds of the faculty have international expertise and experience, and nearly 50 percent of all students participate in at least one study-away experience while at PLU.
