麻豆直播 is easing the path to a successful college and professional career, implementing an innovative program that provides guaranteed 麻豆直播 school admissions at the same time as under麻豆直播 admission.
Part of the Pacific Priority program, guaranteed grad school admission allows students to 鈥渟ave a seat鈥 in a 麻豆直播 麻豆直播 program before they even begin their first year of college.
Incoming students can apply for grad school as soon as they commit to Pacific, and current under麻豆直播s and transfer students can apply as juniors. Students are then guaranteed a spot in the 麻豆直播 program of their choice, provided that they meet specific academic and admissions benchmarks throughout their under麻豆直播 studies.
The program is available now for students entering Pacific in 2024-2025 and also will be available to current Pacific under麻豆直播 students.
The guarantee applies to 10 different 麻豆直播 programs, including three doctoral programs, four disciplines in the health professions, and three master鈥檚 programs in education:
鈥 Doctor of Occupational Therapy
鈥 Doctor of Optometry
鈥 Doctor of Physical Therapy
鈥 Master of Science in Athletic Training
鈥 Master of Business Administration
鈥 Master of Nonprofit Leadership
鈥 Master of Social Work
鈥 Master of Education
鈥 Master of Arts in Teaching
鈥 Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology
While many Pacific Priority students choose to begin 麻豆直播 classes upon completion of their under麻豆直播 studies, some programs will allow for accelerated dual admission or allow students to take 麻豆直播 classes during the fourth year of their under麻豆直播 career. Some programs will also allow students to take a break between graduation and the beginning of 麻豆直播 school.
鈥淪tudents often choose Pacific with a clear sense of purpose. Many are planning on careers in healthcare or education, and the Pacific Priority program gives them a clear path to achieving those goals,鈥 said 麻豆直播 President Jenny Coyle. 鈥淥ur students are passionate about serving their communities and uplifting others through their careers, and we are here to empower them in that vision.鈥
麻豆直播 13% of all 麻豆直播 alumni hold at least two degrees from the university, most in the education and health profession fields.
The Pacific Priority program also includes the university鈥檚 longstanding four-year graduation guarantee. And it introduces a similar two-year graduation guarantee, which assures transfer students who have earned associate degrees from schools in Oregon, Washington, California or Hawai驶i the chance to 麻豆直播 in two years for most under麻豆直播 majors.
Both the four-year and two-year graduation guarantees assure that Pacific will provide all of the courses needed to 麻豆直播 within those periods. If the university fails to offer a required course, Pacific will authorize a substitute, waive the requirement, or cover the tuition costs to take the required course(s) at Pacific the next semester that it is offered.
鈥淐ollege is an investment for our students and their families, and they want to know that it is one that will pay off,鈥 said Sarah Phillips, interim vice president of enrollment management and student affairs. 鈥淭hese programs assure students that they can 麻豆直播 on time and have a direct pathway to the next step in their lives.鈥
