University Information

Study abroad is an integral component of Pacific University’s undergraduate curriculum. Students are encouraged to study abroad because Pacific recognizes the importance of an abroad experience both in the academic and personal development of its students. Study abroad takes students out of their comfort zone, exposes them to the richness of another culture, teaches them intercultural communication skills, promotes adaptability and builds self-confidence. For many students it is also a life-changing experience which provides new academic and personal directions, and enhances career opportunities in a global economy in which cross-cultural experience is increasingly valued.
Pacific University offers students the opportunity to study abroad for a semester or academic year. Several short-term programs are also offered, mostly during the Winter III term in January or in early-summer.

If you are interested in studying abroad on a semester or academic-year program, the first step is to schedule a study abroad advising appointment by calling (503) 352-1600, or by emailing us at intlprograms@pacificu.edu
