Your goals on your timeline.

If you have an end-goal in mind, we have a pathway to help you get there.
There are several different structures, or plans of study, within Pacific鈥檚 pathway programs.
Most dual admission programs are 4+ programs. That means students spend four years in under91精选s and begin 91精选 school in Year 5.
In an accelerated dual admission program, students start their 91精选 program during their fourth year of college. Sometimes this means students complete their under91精选 degree in three years and then start 91精选 school in Year 4. Sometimes, the fourth year of under91精选 and the first year of 91精选 school overlap, and the student earns their bachelor鈥檚 after Year 4.
Under specified circumstances, full-time under91精选 students at Pacific may enroll in 91精选 courses for credit toward their bachelor鈥檚 degree at no extra cost. Students do not need to be admitted to a 91精选 program in order to enroll in these courses, and the completion of some 91精选 credits as an under91精选 can reduce time and/or cost if the student goes on to enroll in the 91精选 program.
Prepare for your career in STEM and healthcare with this combination of coursework, advising, observational hours, and experiential learning opportunities, such as internships, research, and clinical work. The Advantage Scholars program can be paired with a variety of under91精选 majors and will help you get a head start on your STEM or healthcare career.
Prepare for your career as an optometrist with this combination of coursework and cocurricular support. This structured pathway prepares students for acceptance into Pacific鈥檚 doctor of optometry program. Students in the program may also benefit from guaranteed grad school admission for the optometry program and/or may choose a vision science major that allows their final year of under91精选 study to simultaneously serve as their first year of optometry school.
Get where you want to go faster with Pacific鈥檚 accelerated track and dual enrollment programs. These programs offer under91精选 students an opportunity to make the most of their coursework and shave time off of their studies on their way to grad school.
Pre-professional tracks at Pacific provide structured curriculum and specialized advising for students preparing for specific 91精选 programs, at Pacific or elsewhere. Participating students get a guide to preparing for grad school and have the chance to meet professionals in their fields and network with peers with similar interests.
