Fresno Pacific University

Possible happens here.

At Fresno Pacific University, you’ll join others who are united by a passion for knowledge, fellowship, and faith. Here, you’ll gain the confidence and determination to succeed in your career and in your life. Our campus is located in the heart of California’s Central Valley, within a short drive of mountains, beaches, and national parks. Whether you’re living in our campus dorms or commuting, you’ll never be more than a couple steps away from the excitement. Attend a weekend retreat, join a club, grab a frappe at Charlotte’s Coffee Corner, or start a game of Frisbee on the campus green—you’ll always find someone ready to join you.

Spiritual life is woven into the fabric of our community—it’s part of our classes, residence halls, and extracurriculars like our Drama Ministry Team. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to grow in your faith through various ministry and worship options. The University offers 100+ areas of study with 39 majors and 40 minors, and we provide numerous study abroad opportunities and internships. More than 80% of our professors are experts in their fields and hold a PhD, meaning you’ll learn from the best no matter what you study. Our small class sizes allow professors to get to know you and invest in your life—challenging, mentoring, and pushing you to be your best.

Put yourself to the test not only in the classroom but also on the stage, where you can take part in two annual mainstages and musicals, staged readings, and choral, orchestra, and band concerts throughout the year. Our music, drama and visual art programs cover the spectrum from classical to contemporary. Ensembles and activities are open to students from all majors and levels of experience. Our programs regularly present concerts, performances, and art exhibits featuring our students as well as guest artists.

We’ve awarded more than $29 million annually to our students, 98% of whom receive some form of financial aid. Our financial aid resources include performance scholarships, grants, and loans that go all the way up to full tuition. And with our 4-Year Graduation Guarantee, you’ll get a head start toward achieving your personal goals.
