Student Testimonials
Dr. Nancy Pontes

NP (’85 nursing)

PCC taught me how to study and discipline myself; it fed my deep curiosity for things related to nursing and health. At times, my training was stressful because they had a high standard. I remember the thrill and relief of finishing a day of clinical in the hospital. I also remember having to write a thesis proposal as an undergraduate that really prepared me for my master’s thesis at University of Florida and my Ph.D. work at Columbia University.

Scott Brady

app developer (’16 computer science)

The education I received at PCC was very well rounded. It helped me with things I wouldn’t have anticipated. My speech and business classes have helped me when talking to potential customers or investors, and my Bible classes gave me a biblical grounding for my businesses.

Brandon Hicks

Army chaplain (’02 major, ’05 M.Div.)

What I learned from PCC’s Bible program both on the graduate and undergraduate levels set me up for success in military ministry. PCC best prepared me by allowing me to serve under godly faculty and staff members who cared about me and took time to invest in me to help mold me into the person I am today.

Sarah Matney

pediatric cancer center director (’98 nursing)

I don’t think that I really valued the high level of my education until I started to see student nurses roll in and be students and then be new graduates and flounder. I never felt that. I felt completely prepared to enter nursing ready to go.

Peter George

detective (’97 criminal justice)

My classmates and I were taught to hold our standards high and answer to God first, knowing if we maintained His holy standards, we could maintain those of our police chiefs and commanders. PCC’s criminal justice program also taught me to balance my profession with my family and my faith. Our classes were bathed in as much Scripture as possible which helped us understand our calling by God and the importance of using God’s help and power to protect us spiritually and physically. The fact is, I couldn’t be a Christian professional in law enforcement without the foundation I received at PCC.

Pamela Wieler

teacher & principal in Uganda (’00 elementary education, ’03 M.A. in Bible Exposition)

I am truly thankful for the dedication of the teachers I had at PCC. The smaller class sizes allowed the teachers to know us by name, and they were willing to help when it was needed and to pray with me when I had a burden. Seeing their examples has helped me show compassion in my own classes.

Stephen Sinclair

NASA engineer (’10 mechanical engineering)

I came to PCC undisciplined but left with some good ideas of how to conduct myself in a professional setting.

Bernadette O’Shea

teacher, program director, conference speaker (’97 elementary education)

PCC demanded excellence and quality from their teachers. After 10+ years of teaching, I have yet to come across another school that produces educators in this manner. For me, the best part about PCC’s education program was my teaching classes.

Fernando Higuera

senior consultant at Hitachi (’08 Marketing, M.B.A. ’10)

At PCC, I feel that they push us to give our best and to excel in what we do, and that’s something you don’t see too often in the workforce. It takes experience to build it, and I think at PCC having that mentality since the moment that you start that everything you do has to be on such an excellent level, it helps you immediately as soon as you get into the workforce. I’ve been able to work with people that are Ivy League graduates, and I feel competitive. They raise the bar at PCC so high always to provide quality material that helps you once you’re out there.

Jason Holloway

pastor, (’09, Sports Management major, ’11 master’s Bible Exposition, ’11 master’s Bible Languages)

The environment enabled me to really seek the Lord and His will for my life. It put me in a position where I could really focus on my walk with the Lord and not be distracted or worried about what else was going on around me.

Patricia Josephs

graphic designer (’97, commercial art)

You make good friends. When you meet other people that have the same goals and desires in their life, it’s easy to make good friends with them. We had a group in our art room—we just had a great time. We would be up there all weekend working on our projects, painting, drawing. We would talk together, we did lots of fun stuff together. We just became a real solid group and we encouraged one another in our art abilities—we could do it! It rounded out the college experience, and those are friendships that you keep for a lifetime.

Adrian Burden

evangelist (’06, Evangelism, ’08 master’s Bible Exposition)

My senior year of college was one of the highlights for me—all the people to fellowship with, all the people to talk with. I have friends now in so many different fields. I’m an evangelist, and I think it was great that all of my friends were not just evangelists or pastors or anything like that. I have friends that now are accountants. I have friends that are working at different venues across the nation. It was really neat to have an experience on campus where so many different walks of life and so many areas of the country and even the world to be able to connect with.

TJ Cunningham

fine artist (’10, Commercial art)
