Pacific Lutheran University

Challenge. Support. Success. This is the PLU experience. At PLU you will be challenged to achieve at the peak of your ability, given support to meet that challenge, and find success in both college and your chosen career. Based in the suburban Parkland neighborhood of Tacoma, Washington, on a 156-acre woodland campus, PLU offers approximately 2,700 students a blend of academically rigorous liberal arts and professional programs. The university offers three pathways to academic distinction: global education and service to the world; robust student-faculty collaborative research and creative projects; and helping students discern meaning and purpose in their lives.
