The University of Puget Sound (the “University” or “UPS”) was established in 1888. It is an independent, predominantly residential, national undergraduate liberal arts college. UPS is one of five independent national undergraduate liberal arts colleges in the Northwest. The University is also one of only five independent colleges in the Northwest granted a charter by Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious academic honorary society.

Located in a residential section in the north end of Tacoma, Washington, on a 97-acre campus of Tudor Gothic buildings set among native fir groves is the community of 2,450 undergraduate students, 150 graduate students, and 212 full-time faculty. Students from nearly every state and 16 countries are represented.

UPS offers more than 40 major programs with academic departments offering more than 1,200 courses in a single year. A low student - faculty ratio of 11 to 1, with an average class size of 19 students is a hallmark of the University. About one-third of UPS students study abroad.

The University has issued seven series of Bonds through the Authority with a total par value of $123,978,824.
