Academics

Learn to see things differently

From where you are to where you want to be

Our programs are designed to help you make a difference. To step into your fullest potential. To challenge yourself, expand your perspective, and take action. Whether you’re beginning with an idea or are open to all possibilities, PC is where you can discover new ways to turn your passion into your superpower.  

In a world where careers shift and industries rapidly transform, our graduates possess something more valuable than narrow expertise: the ability to think critically across disciplines, communicate complex ideas with clarity, and adapt to change with intellectual agility. While others train for jobs that may vanish, you’ll graduate with the timeless skills to navigate uncertainty, lead with wisdom, and shape the future rather than merely react to it.

International Opportunities

Learning isn’t limited to the classroom. With multiple international programs available, you can gain new perspectives and get hands-on experience that goes beyond our campus—all while making a meaningful impact along the way.

“I have always been interested in working in pediatrics. I enjoy the hospital setting, and I knew that if given the opportunity, I would love to experience OT in the NICU. I am very thankful for the chance to bring the emerging practice of Neonatal Hydrotherapy to Charleston.”

“PC and its liberal arts approach to education lets you get to the core of who you are. Each class you take, you see the interconnectedness of all the disciplines. You are the subject of everything, and that’s unique for everyone. Everyone gets something different out of their time at PC.”

“Working closely with Dr. Owens has allowed me to see what research looks like beyond the classroom. Hearing about his own experiences in graduate school and in the field has helped me shape my own career path. This work has exposed me to areas of physics I hadn’t previously considered, from basic science to robotics and medical applications.”

“I have an undying admiration for how a musician can take such a niche feeling and put it into the words I would’ve never thought to say. As a writer, I appreciate that as well.”
