Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) is a private Christian university located in a unique position in San Diego.

While not large, it consistently attracts attention for its beautiful campus environment, solid Christian educational philosophy, and high-quality academic programs.

PLNU is a Christian liberal arts college affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene, established in 1902.

The campus is situated on coastal cliffs at the end of Point Loma Peninsula, offering a 360-degree view of the Pacific Ocean that is uniquely beautiful compared to any other university campus in San Diego. The student body consists of about 3,500 undergraduates, providing an educational environment that reflects the characteristics of a small liberal arts college.

The nursing program is particularly renowned, consistently achieving high pass rates on the California nursing licensure exam (NCLEX).

Programs in education, counseling psychology, music, business, and biology are also strong. The low student-to-faculty ratio allows for close interaction between professors and students.

The educational philosophy emphasizing the integration of Christian faith and scholarship permeates the entire school. Living in dormitories is mandatory for first and second-year students, emphasizing community life within the school. Attendance at chapel is a required component, making it a suitable environment for students who value their faith.

The sports teams are actively operated under NCAA Division II (PacWest Conference), achieving good results in various sports such as baseball, basketball, swimming, tennis, and cross country. The campus is well-equipped with sports facilities.

A variety of study abroad programs are offered, allowing students to experience semesters in Europe, Asia, Central America, and other regions.

Mission trips and volunteer activities are also an important part of the school culture.

The annual tuition is relatively high for a private university, but various scholarships and financial aid programs are available.

For students seeking a quality education in a beautiful campus environment based on Christian faith, PLNU is an attractive choice.
