The College

Pacific Oaks College is a unique educational institution offering upper division and graduate-level programs in human development, counseling,  teaching credentials, and a children's school which serves infants through primary age children and their parents. Pacific Oaks is located in Pasadena and maintains academic centers throughout California.

Pacific Oaks is accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Three basic concepts underlie the educational philosophy of Pacific Oaks: that growth is a dynamic and life-long process; that every individual has a fundamental worth; and that each person, no matter how young or old, has a unique identity and human potential which they contribute to the lives of all those with whom they come in contact.
