Pacific University has served the educational needs of the southern Willamette Valley since 1992, when it first opened its Eugene location, offering undergraduate and graduate programs in the College of Education.

In 2020, Pacific University’s Eugene location moved to the grounds of Lane County Community College, in a unique public-private partnership that provided smooth transitions for students moving from undergraduate to graduate programs. 

While many of these academic programs are now offered virtually, Pacific’s Eugene location continues to offer support for prospective and current Pacific students in southern Willamette Valley. Pacific students enjoy free parking and bus passes at LCC. They are able to access the campus library, computer labs, dining services, and fitness center. And they are invited to take part in student union activities, such as the Gender Equity Center, Roberta Connie Mesquita Multi-Cultural Center, and Maxwell Student Veteran Center, as well as cultural, athletic and performance events at LCC.
