University of the Pacific is California's oldest university, founded in 1851, provides personalized learning and small class sizes, with professors passionate about their students' success. We offer all the choices of a major university, with 10 schools and colleges and nearly 100 majors. Since 1851, we've made the choice to look forward, create change and deliver education that puts our students first. We offer an experience that produces successful alumni who lead in their communities, in California and beyond. The School of Health Sciences was built on Pacific’s long-standing reputation for educating health care professionals and features innovative curricula, accelerated programs, extensive experiential learning, and clinical training for all students. All programs include interprofessional education experiences designed to prepare students to deliver health care in a team-based model. Careers as health care providers are among the most rewarding and needed of all professions. At the Pacific School of Health Sciences, we are honored to prepare practice-ready athletic trainers, audiologists, clinical nutritionists, medical/health science leaders, nurses, physical therapists, physician assistants, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers to meet the health care demands of our community, including the Central Valley, and throughout Northern California.
