Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next validation review of the program by the ARC-PA will be March 2031. The review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy. The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at http://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation-history-university-of-the-pacific/.

We love our SHS family! 🧡🐯

Today is our 5th anniversary! 🎉 🙌 On July 1, 2020, Pacific's Athletic Training, Audiology, Physician Assistant, Physical Therapy, and Speech-Language Pathology Departments came together to form the School of Health Sciences. Since then, SHS has launched five additional departments, including Nursing, Nutrition, Occupational Therapy, Social Work, and Health Science, bringing the total number of departments to ten.

SHS would not be here without the Board of Regents and Provost Pallavicini’s vision for creating SHS, the clear focus and support of Pacific President Christopher Callahan and Provost Edwalds-Gilbert, the leadership of Dean Bugnariu, and our amazing faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey, and we look forward to the next 5 years together! 🧡 🐯

In memory of many, in honor of all. Thank you to our heroes. 🇺🇸💙
