Pacific Oaks College is a not-for-profit, accredited higher education institution offering
bachelor's, master's, and certificate programs in human development, counseling,
education, early childhood education, and teacher credentialing.
Pacific Oaks' main campus is in Pasadena, Calif., and classes are also offered at
convenient locations throughout California (Sacramento, Salinas, Santa Cruz, and L.A.)
and online.
Founded more than 60 years ago by a small group of Quaker families, Pacific Oaks
College is dedicated to the fundamental Quaker principles of inclusion, social justice, and
the valuing of every human being. The institution is known and recognized for its
pioneering efforts to reduce bias within our nation's education system, and for equipping
graduates with the skills they need to help people from diverse backgrounds, learning
styles, and strengths uncover and realize their unique individual potentials.
Pacific Oaks is known for its progressive approach to learning—valuing real-world
experiences as well as academic achievements. This philosophy is embodied through
opportunities such as the Credit for Life Experience option, which allows students to gain
academic credit for real-world experience acquired in the workplace. Students may earn
up to 30 credits in this manner—credits which can be applied toward a bachelor's degree
and count toward application for an M.A. in Marital and Family Therapy or Human
Development.

2. Three basic concepts underlie the educational philosophy at Pacific Oaks:
 that every individual has a fundamental worth;
 that growth is a dynamic and life-long process;
 and that every individual has a unique identity and human potential.
Pacific Oaks is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC),
and has been since 1959.
