University of the Pacific's School of Engineering and Computer Science (SOECS) believes that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential components of positive educational and professional experiences. Although we have made progress in diversity, equity and inclusion, we recognize that there is a lot more work to do. As we move forward, we remain focused on continuing to build inclusive and safe environments as well as reaffirming our commitment to developing a long-term strategy to lead with purpose and create a real, lasting impact.

Our faculty and staff are deeply committed to supporting our students during their entire educational journey. Whether you are a prospective student, graduating senior or valued alumni, we are here to help you discover your path and achieve your goals.

ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP)
About the Award

To accelerate the achievement of the Diversity Pledge goals, the ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) was created to publicly recognize those engineering and engineering technology colleges that make significant, measurable progress in increasing the diversity, inclusion, and degree attainment outcomes of their programs.

University of the Pacific has been awarded a Bronze Level Award for the inaugural ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) and has been recognized as an "exemplar" institution
