We understand the importance of keeping student information secure, so we continually work to safeguard student data by utilizing world class security software maintained by nationally certified security professionals. Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of data required for students to progress their studies here at Pacific and protect the university’s information assets is at the heart of our cybersecurity approach. We also provide security training to empower students, faculty and staff to protect themselves on the internet.

The University provides students with Internship opportunities with a number of companies in the Northern California region and internally to Pacific. These internships provide an initial foundation towards future career success for students once they graduate from Pacific.

Previous interns of Pacific Technology have worked with experienced IT professionals in the areas of Technology Architecture, IT Security, Project Management, Classroom Technology, Networking, Server Administration, Help Desk, and Computer Programming. Some Interns have been hired to work within Pacific Technology after graduation. Many have been hired right out of college with the experience gained from working in a professional IT operation.
