Think Pacific is out of reach? Think again. Most students don’t pay the full cost—scholarships, grants, and flexible aid options make a Pacific education possible for families like yours.Pacific has undergraduate students from all economic backgrounds.
Pacific’s published cost of attendance (aka sticker price) for 2025–26 is:
$58,844 – tuition and student body fees
$9,876 – housing
$7,670 – food
Total: $76,390
We know that number can feel overwhelming, but here’s the good news: most students don’t pay that full amount.
The sticker price is just the starting point. Most families pay far less, thanks to financial aid.
