Studying abroad is more than just travel. You will undertake a bold, life-changing journey that will push you beyond your comfort zone, immerse you in a new cultures and challenge you to see the world—and yourself—through a broader, more powerful lens.
Studying abroad is one of the most rewarding investments you can make in terms of academics, personal growth, professional preparation and global citizenship skills. It makes your résumé stand out, too, showing employers that you can adapt, solve problems and thrive in unfamiliar environments. Studies have shows students who studied abroad found employment within a year of graduation at double the rate of their peers.
At Pacific, we offer programs to fit your goals, interests, major and budget because we believe global learning should be accessible to all students. Studying abroad isn’t just about going somewhere new. It’s about becoming someone new.

Deepen your global perspective and gain real-world insights that last a lifetime. Photo: Jace (2nd to the left), class of 2020, living abroad in Amsterdam.
