The founders of Pacific Rim College were fueled by a vision of an integrated system of healing in which students study multiple healing and medical modalities at one academic institution.

Students will enroll in undergraduate programs, leading to bachelor's degrees in health sciences, and diploma and certificate programs in areas such as Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Bodywork and more.

Founding Philosophy

Pacific Rim College was founded in an effort to integrate medicines of the world, thereby preserving indigenous practices and increasing the global availability of sustainable health care. More than fifty percent of people from industrialized countries use some form of complementary and alternative therapy, and in impoverished regions, this proportion would likely be even greater if therapies were available. PRC is training practitioners to meet this growing demand and to help supply valuable medical skills and knowledge around the globe.
