However, PHC graduates are bucking this trend by transcending the skills gap, which allows them to shine in professional settings. PHC's unique Classical Liberal Arts Core Curriculum, including a robust internship program, helps instill "soft skills" that will always be relevant in a world of ever-changing technology.
