The PBA Way

Experience Welcome Week

Welcome Week has an energy all its own, and it will mark the beginning of your journey as a PBA student. During this week-long event, you’ll take part in all kinds of activities and events, meet fellow students, begin fostering relationships with faculty and have a lot of fun while your parents enjoy their own Welcome Week Programming.

Sailfish Cup

One of PBA's oldest traditions, Sailfish Cup is a weekend of competitions between the residence halls. Competitions vary from basketball, soccer, dodgeball, longboard races, theatrical skits, board games, video games and more – creating an opportunity for everyone to join the weekend's activities and compete for the Cup!

It's Your Time

You were chosen for a bigger life. The investment you make in a PBA education is one that stays with you for life. And not just any life— a life that follows the path that God chose for you. The impact of our graduates is so much bigger than the impressive résumés they have built. Whether in Washington DC or in a local elementary school, PBA graduates are leading lives that are full of purpose, compassion, and goodness.
