Welcome to the College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences at Pacific University.
The College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences includes eight schools, and our offerings include post-professional graduate certificates, internships and fellowships in areas of specialized practice, and post-professional continuing education for the maintenance of professional licensure. We now have bachelor's, master’s, doctoral, and PhD degree programs that emphasize diversity, equity, inclusion, immersive scholarship, service, research, and academic leadership. Our reputation and influence are growing through the outstanding scholarship and advocacy of our distinguished faculty and staff.
The faculty and staff of the College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences mentor and inspire our students to think, care, create, and pursue justice in our world. We do this by preparing the next generation of leaders to practice innovative, evidence-based healthcare for our diverse global community. Our students are fully engaged throughout the learning process in their in-person and virtual classrooms, through interprofessional patient scenarios in our simulation facility, in our clinics and research labs, and in community outreach and advocacy.
We are committed to strong academic programs leading to licensure in healthcare practice at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We are dedicated to preparing students for contemporary healthcare practice, including an interprofessional, team-based approach to person-centered care, and we join with community partners to provide our students with rich educational and practical experiences.
I hope you will explore our website to discover your future path in healthcare. On our main webpage, you will find our recent State of the College Report and our year-by-year Curriculum Vitae, which showcase the considerable accomplishments of our esteemed students, faculty, and staff.
