What our students are saying

"I chose Pacific for its community of talented and knowledgeable professors, who I believe will be great mentors in my career. They encourage the students, to mindfully ask themselves, ‘what matters to you?’"

Genica Po
Doctor of Occupational Therapy

"To be done in 15 months and start your Clinical Fellowship Year a year earlier was a huge factor in choosing Pacific. If I apply for a job and they know I attended Pacific, they’ll know I have a great education and won’t hesitate to hire me."
