History

Pacific Bible Seminary (established in 1928) became Pacific Christian College (PCC) in 1962. PCC moved from its Long Beach, California campus to its present Fullerton campus in 1973. When the institution became Hope International University in 1997, Pacific Christian College remained as one of the three schools of the university. PCC offers Bachelor's degrees to a target audience of high school graduates who are typically seeking their first degree in higher education, as well as preparation for graduate studies and preparation for more effective service in the Church. Several thousand alumni work as servant-leaders in the church and in education, health, business, and human services professions throughout the United States and around the world.
