Peninsula College School Description

Peninsula College provides educational opportunities in the areas of academic transfer, professional/technical, basic skills, and continuing education. The College also contributes to the cultural and economic enrichment of Clallam and Jefferson Counties.

Peninsula College offers the Associate of Arts, Associate of Arts Honors, the Associate of Science and the Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree, as well as one-year certificates and a variety of short-term certificates.

The main campus has twenty-five buildings, including classrooms, a Microsoft training center, computer labs, a library media center, a lecture hall, a student union, a theatre, and a student services center. The college also has two extension sites. One is located in Forks, Washington, 57 miles west of Port Angeles, and the other is in Port Townsend in Jefferson County, some 46 miles east. Altogether, almost 8,000 students attend Peninsula College, including those who come from other states and from several international countries.

The Olympic Peninsula provides an extraordinary setting for Peninsula College. Our close proximity to mountains, forests, and the ocean gives students unparalleled opportunities to participate in outdoor learning and recreational experiences that are not equaled at other college locations in Washington's community and technical college system.

Anyone familiar with the college would not be surprised to find a German, philosophy, or literature class meeting in the middle of the college quadrangle on a bright sunny day, or to hear one of the college choirs rehearse in front of the Pirate Union Building (PUB) Student Center. Nor is it unusual to find small groups of students and their teachers embarking at dawn for field trips to the nearby ocean, Olympic National Park, or the rain forests to discover and study native marine life, fauna, and flora in their natural habitats.

The services and activities of Port Angeles, the largest city on the North Olympic Peninsula, are easily accessible, and students and community members alike enjoy the opportunity to work together on projects and special festivals that involve both groups.

Students who come to Peninsula College will find a safe, small-town environment with many of the amenities of city life, including museums, live community theatre, a symphony orchestra, and other cultural opportunities that are just waiting to be discovered.

Major cities, such as Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia, are only a few hours away, while major Native American museums and a United Nations World Heritage Site — Olympic National Park — are practically on our doorstep.
