"Coming to Pacific was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Pacific has been a perfect match, and the faculty and staff here have been so supportive."
-John Langdon
"Your professors become your friends. I regularly attend office hours and have even found my professors open to mentoring independent study research projects. This closeness with faculty is not something you find at larger or less student-oriented universities."
-Lloyd Barba
"I feel it is important that our faculty have such a large breadth of interests and skills to offer. The department offers many regions, time periods and even specialty courses. We even have the History of Food!"
-Elizabeth Youngberg
"I love Pacific's History program because it isn't just disconnected classes about different regions and time periods. The sophomore Historical Imagination class ties concepts in history together; the class explores history's interdisciplinary nature, its applicability in movies and culture, and historiography in general. Then senior year, the Capstone brings History majors together once again to complete hands-on research in the discipline."
