About Pacific Lutheran University
Founded in 1890 by Norwegian pioneers and an exemplar of the New American University in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, PLU seeks to educate its 3,000 students for lives of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care—for other people, for their communities and for the Earth. Its distinctive Lutheran higher-education tradition helps students from all faiths and backgrounds discern their life’s vocation through coursework, mentorship and internships at world-class Puget Sound-area businesses and institutions.
