The Philippine Christian University (PCU) is a private, Protestant, and coeducational basic and higher education institution located in Ermita, Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1946 through the initiatives of the laymen of the Evangelical Association of the Philippines. Originally named Manila Union University, it was renamed Philippine Christian College (PCC). In 1976, the PCC acquired university status.
PCU is one of the two major Mainline Protestant universities at the heart of Metro Manila, the other being Trinity University of Asia (under the Episcopal Church in the Philippines). It is also a member institution of Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities (ACSCU).
The university maintains a satellite campus in Iloilo City through partnership with St. Roberts International Academy.
