Pacific University offers graduate and professional programs at four campus locations. More than half of all our students are studying for advanced degrees in writing, social work, optometry, education, health profession, and business.
Our goals are to assist future and current students with all aspects of the financial aid process, and to help make a Pacific University education as affordable as possible by offering a variety of academic and competitive scholarships, need-based grants, employment opportunities and loans to eligible students.
At Pacific, every undergraduate is supported with an advising team, consisting of an advisor in our professional Advising Center, a faculty academic advisor, and a Career Development Advisor. This team is here to do more than help with your schedule. These caring professionals seek to help you reflect on your sense of purpose in life, set goals, plan your path to graduation, and prepare intentionally for life after graduation.
Our Tutoring & Learning Center and Learning Support Services are here to help you overcome challenges and roadblocks along the way. And, we put special care into welcoming first-generation and transfer students to the four-year college experience.
The Center for Learning and Student Success (CLASS) offers peer tutoring to undergraduate students at the Forest Grove campus. The center aims to improve student success by providing a welcoming environment where students can work toward their academic goals with peer support. CLASS is a great place to collaborate with classmates and engage with others, whether or not you’re working directly with a tutor.
CLASS offers individual and small group sessions in a variety of subject areas. Tutoring sessions can be focused on preparing for a specific exam or assignment, or they can be structured as a guided study session for more general academic support.
The Pacific University Career Development Center offers a full range of career-related services and opportunities for Pacific University students, alumni and partners.
A major part of our work involves offering individual sessions for students and alumni seeking full-time employment opportunities, part-time and temporary work, internships, work-study, summer jobs, fellowships, and further education.
At Pacific University, discovery is a cornerstone of our mission. We encourage research to produce new insights and to find creative ways of solving old problems.
Our faculty members are dedicated teachers, as well as experts in their fields. Our students benefit greatly from the opportunity to work alongside professors in meaningful exploration and research. Our Office of Scholarship & Sponsored Projects provides a wide range of possibilities for our students and faculty.
Students in the College of Optometry work with professors and practitioners in the Vision Performance Institute and the world"s first 3D vision clinic, where they explore everything from vision ergonomics to contact lenses to disorders associated with viewing emerging 3D media.
Students in the College of Education gain valuable experience as they travel globally, investigate best practices in creating student-centered learning environments, and get hands-on experience with students in Pacific"s Early Learning Community. And, of course, students and faculty in the College of Health Professionsconduct medical research that is contributing to the understanding and treatment of diseases throughout the world — from hypertension to internal parasites.
At Pacific University, the student experience is about more than academics. Our students become part of a community, where they make lifelong friends as they pursue diverse interests and activities.
At Pacific University, diversity is one of the five pillars of our mission. Our students, faculty, and staff come from all over the world.
While most of our students do come from the Pacific Northwest, almost one in five undergraduates hails from Hawai‘i, and we have students from nearly every state and from more than 20 countries. Our alumni represent Pacific University in more than 40 countries.
Our students enjoy experiencing worldwide cultures through the friends they meet on our campuses and through our rich international study and service opportunities.
In addition, campus clubs such as the Nā Haumāna O Hawai‘i, Hispanic Heritage Student Association, Black Student Union, and the Student Multicultural Center help students feel even more at home at Pacific.
But we also know that diversity is about much more than race, ethnicity or geography. We believe that exposure to a rich diversity of ideas is critical to the education and growth of all people, and we value the unique experiences and viewpoints of all of our community members.
