    From University of Puget Sound

    University of Puget Sound is tucked away into the Pacific Northwest city of Tacoma, Washington, surrounded by forests, mountains, rivers, and lakes, as well as vibrant urban amenities. Our campus was ranked the third most beautiful in the country, but we’re so much more than a pretty face—we want to help you meet your college goals, and then help you dream up new ones.

    To ensure you get the most out of your college experience, we have a class size average of 17 students. When you consider our faculty-to-student ratio of 1:11, you'll begin to see that these won’t just be your professors, they will be your mentors and guides as you determine your major, area of specialty, and beyond. Let us introduce you to your college community; whether you engage in sports, student interest groups, and/or identity clubs, you’ll meet friendships to last a lifetime. As we like to say, “once a Logger, always a Logger!”

    This is the Sound of stepping into your greatness. This is Puget Sound.
