Admissions Procedures

Students may be admitted at the beginning of each semester. Prospective applicants are encouraged to apply for admission well in advance of the beginning of classes because class size is limited. Students needing financial aid are encouraged to apply at least 60-90 days prior to the start of the semester. To apply for admission to Pacific College an applicant should send the following to the Office of Admissions at the branch they wish to attend:

1. A completed Pacific College Application Form
   
   
2. Application fee
   
   
3. Two current, full-face, passport-size photos for student file
   
   
4. Two letters of reference from persons familiar with the applicant’s academic abilities, maturity, and integrity (Not required for Massage programs, with the exception of the Oriental Body Therapy program).
   
   
5. Personal Essay Directives: Describe what you think makes you a good candidate to become an Oriental medicine practitioner. Discuss experiences you have has and how these experiences and your values could make a contribution to your own and your patients' healthcare.
   
   As this education process is also a process of self exploration, identify some ways you hope to develop personally on your journey to becoming a healer, and how you envision that process.
   
   This essay should be typed, double-spaced, and approximately 2-3 pages in length.

Other Important Application Information Required:

1. Official transcripts from all colleges previously attended should be sent directly to Pacific College from the institution.
   
   
2. International documents in a non-English language require an accompanying, original, certified translation into English, including year-to-year records of each college or university attended. Indicate the number of lecture and laboratory hours or units devoted to each course as well as grades received. Include copies of official documents indicating the award of degrees with the title and date conferred.
   
   
3. If you attended an international school, an academic evaluation of international transcripts/ documents in terms of American accredited equivalency must be sent to Pacific. Contact Pacific’s Admissions counselors for names and addresses of agencies that perform this evaluation. (Does not apply to non-degree programs.)
   

For quicker processing of your application while the college awaits official transcripts, you may send unofficial copies of your transcripts with your Application Form.
