Cornerstone University’s mission is to provide students with empowering educational programs that offer relevant, practical information grounded in an ethical Christ-centered worldview.

Our Professional & Graduate Studies (PGS) program extends that mission to adult learners who want to:

• Complete a degree program in their current field
• Extend and deepen their professional knowledge
• Prepare the ground for a career path change through further education

PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR YOU

Programs in the Cornerstone University’s PGS are designed to meet the needs of working students. Our undergraduate and graduate degree programs are:

• Practical and Relevant: Curriculum topics mirror real-world concerns. Small-group collaborative exercises reflect real-world working practices. Use tomorrow in the workplace what you learn today on-location.
• Convenient: Evening classes meet once a week at times designed to mesh with work schedules. Multiple locations throughout Michigan make it easier to get to class. And online learning options give you even more flexibility.
• Accelerated: Many of Cornerstone University’s PGS programs are designed to fit into intense schedules, meaning you can graduate sooner and put your new qualification to work for you.

It is a liberal arts university.

In the 1990s and early 2000s Cornerstone University expanded and transformed, changing its name, becoming a university, increasing enrollment, adding facilities and improving the campus, introducing an adult program including the MBA and a leadership development experience, adding an Honors Program and “Civitas” Core Curriculum, changing its mascot, colors, and logo, and winning a men’s national basketball championship^[3] in 1999, 2011 and 2015.

Students are required to abide by a “Lifestyle Statement” intended to reflect trinitarianism. The university offers 60 academic programs in the arts, sciences, humanities, Bible, teacher education, computers and business and journalism.

About one in four of our students — from freshmen to future doctors — are the first in their families to attend college. And our students experience greater socioeconomic growth as a result of their educations than their peers at other colleges in the Pacific Northwest.

At Pacific, students build deep personal relationships with friends, mentors, faculty members, and academic and career counselors.

Our students mix their rigorous academic experiences with meaningful research, community engagement and life experiences, helping them become successful and active citizens and community leaders.
Pacific is the No. 1 private research university in the Pacific Northwest and ranks No. 10 on the West Coast, among the likes of USC and Stanford.
We’re among U.S. News & World Report’s top National Universities for 2020, plus named a Best Value School, Best College for Veterans, and Top Performer for Social Mobility.
We also were on the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education list of America’s Top Colleges — a list that includes only the top third of all undergraduate institutions.
In 2019, Pacific earned a silver ranking for sustainability under the national STARS program.
