ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS

“Having the opportunity to go to PLNU was a calling for me. I feel like becoming a product of Point Loma has helped accelerate my career in ways I wouldn’t have before.”

“My whole experience at PLNU was amazing. I feel like it prepared me way more than any other school would have. Starting out, I'd have to remind myself that I was a beginning teacher, because I felt so seasoned already.”

“[Having] a son who would soon be entering college and a four-year-old daughter made the decision to go back to school… feel daunting. But [I] felt this was important for my needs and life.”
