GET AN APPLIED EDUCATION
Pacific’s School of Engineering and Computer Science ranks in the top 20% of all non-doctoral engineering and computer science programs in the country. The school emphasizes practical experiences and service learning. You’ll either complete a research thesis preparing you for a doctoral program or a capstone project where you can apply your newly acquired skills to industry challenges. Graduate assistantship opportunities in some programs offer tuition support and paid teaching.
LEARN IN STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES
You will have access to campus laboratories like Pacific’s innovative Fletcher Jones Foundation Makerspace. You’ll use a vast array of resources as you conduct research or work on projects, including CNC equipment, robotic and mechatronic systems, a wind tunnel and materials testing machines.
FLEXIBLE PROGRAMS IN GROWING FIELDS
SOECS programs are designed for both traditional students and working professionals, offering full- and part-time options alongside online classes for our computer science and cybersecurity programs. These
“We got to design our own lab. We created our own experiment in fluids, so we got to fabricate and design our own experiment and share with our class. We had to create our own materials, so it was very hands-on. I learned how to use a lot of machinery and software.”
CALISTA MORITA MS, Engineering
“What sets SOECS’s master’s programs apart is our combination of hands-on learning and personalized mentorship from professors. That’s the magic formula that leads our students to become innovators, ready to tackle tomorrow’s challenges across disciplines.”
