Small class sizes, diverse perspectives, and meaningful connections with faculty and staff — these are the hallmarks of Pacific's nationally recognized, student-centered educational programs. With 11 schools and colleges offering over 80 undergraduate areas of study, including more than 30 graduate and professional programs and 12 accelerated programs, Pacific students can pursue undergraduate, graduate and professional studies under the direction of our award-winning faculty.

Combining challenging courses with hands-on, experiential learning, Pacific students pursue higher education in a supportive, nurturing environment. A full range of resources and services enrich our students' education, including access to the William Knox Holt Memorial Library, which houses the papers of environmentalist John Muir, and jazz legend and Pacific alumnus Dave Brubeck '42.

Our students have the opportunity to expand their education through research with the help of the Office of Research and Scholarship and the Pacific Fellowship Office, which connect students to their passions through prestigious fellowships and funding for undergraduate and graduate research. Pacific's Career Resource Center provides an array of services and programs to connect students to invaluable internship opportunities and help prepare them for success in their chosen career path.
