PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Ask an advisor to distinguish the requirements and eligibility for the standard and accelerated routes.
Your complete timeline
Pacific lists a 50-credit major and a year-long team capstone. A separate accelerated bachelor’s option is also advertised. Ask for a term-by-term plan that includes prerequisites, transfer decisions and application timing.
Plan around the schedule
This profile covers in-person study in Forest Grove. Plan for group projects and the senior capstone across its scheduled terms.
Application and selection
Ask an advisor to distinguish the requirements and eligibility for the standard and accelerated routes. Check the current first-year or transfer admission requirements and whether the major or practical placement has a separate application.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
What does the three-year option include or omit, and how would it affect internships and my full cost?
- What is included in the written price, and what would I pay separately?
- What support is available if my work schedule, disability accommodations or family responsibilities affect attendance?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
A computing degree can build relevant skills, but hiring also depends on projects, technical practice and experience. A concentration alone does not establish readiness for every specialist role.
Cost and outcomes
Published base; complete personal budget still needed
Add program-specific fees, books, tools or supplies, exams, prerequisite study, travel and living expenses to the published base below. Your final cost depends on your course plan and financial aid.
Published tuition or budget base
The College of Undergraduate Studies lists $60,100 in tuition and fees for 2026-27. Books, supplies, housing, meals and personal expenses are additional. This is one academic year's published price before financial aid, not the full degree price.
