Starting Fall 2025, Pacific University’s MBA program is STEM-designated, integrating advanced coursework in analytics, technology, and AI. This distinction enhances career opportunities, particularly for international students, who can now benefit from an extended 36-month OPT period in the U.S.
Do you know someone who is passionate about the Pacific community and enjoys connecting with others? Nominate a colleague or yourself to be a part of the Pacific University Staff Senate. There are eight openings for the 2025-27 Staff Senate term. Staff Senators have a front-row seat to learn and engage in larger decisions made at the university. Nominations are being accepted through March 14.
Pacific University is exploring opportunities for faculty and staff to connect in a casual, supportive space. These gatherings are not professional development but an opportunity for solidarity and camaraderie.
Gear up for a great March with OP! Whether you’re looking to enjoy the last of the snow, challenge yourself with indoor climbing, or explore the trails on a hike, we’ve got something for you. Check out what’s coming up!
