About PAU

Founded in 1975, the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology reincorporated to Palo Alto University in 2009. A private, non-profit, higher education institution that combines the advantages of a professional school with a traditional university, Palo Alto University provides undergraduate and graduate students small class sizes with renowned faculty and impressive clinical training resources through the university’s cooperative relationships with Stanford University, the University of San Francisco, Golden Gate University and Palo Alto Veterans Health Administration. The positive results of this strategy can be seen in students’ placement in high quality internships, outstanding test scores on the licensing examination, and successful careers.
