DISCOVER PACIFIC UNIVERSITY
Pacific University is a small but diverse community where students thrive in a personal academic environment. Tracing its roots back to 1849 when it began as a school for orphans of the Oregon Trail, Pacific has long been devoted to making a difference in people's lives. Nestled in the valley at the base of the coastal range and Mount Hood, the university is only a half hour to the Portland metro center.
Today, students study in a noteworthy combination of undergraduate, graduate and professional programs in the liberal arts and sciences, optometry, education, health professions, and business. Pacific University has campuses in Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Eugene, and Woodburn, Ore., as well as an office in Honolulu. In addition, a variety of Pacific University health and eye clinics throughout the Portland area serve patients and provide students with practical experience.
At Pacific University, students and faculty engage in discovery through close, nurturing relationships that provide meaningful learning experiences. International study, service learning, internships, and co-curricular activities have been integral parts of the education of nearly 28,000 alumni worldwide who share in the Boxer spirit.
At Pacific University we are dedicated to providing experiences that are authentic, holistic, equity minded, and responsive. We continue to develop our equity practices with a particular focus on racial equity.
For qualifying employees, our benefits include generous paid time off for vacation, holidays (including winter break) and sick leave. We offer medical coverage with alternative care (in-network services covered at 100% after payroll deduction), comprehensive dental, vision plans, 9% contribution to retirement after one year of service with no match required, free mental health appointments, and tuition remission for employees and their dependents.
