Pacific University

Located in the spectacular Pacific Northwest, the 60 acre oak-covered Pacific University campus is surrounded by green countryside and hills. Year round skiing on Mt. Hood, wind-surfing in the Columbia Gorge, the beach, the mountains, the rivers, are all at its doorstep. No less beckoning is Portland, one of America's best cities, with the arts, shopping, and restaurants only 1/2 hour away. Pacific's curriculum is a distinct model of education that links theory with practice. Undergraduate liberal arts programs connect classroom education with professional preparation through internships, practical, and research programs.
