Future Students

Palo Alto University is a private, WASC accredited school, located in Palo Alto, California. PAU brings together a community of highly talented faculty and graduate students working side-by-side to bring scientific rigor and theoretical knowledge to the analysis and practice of clinical psychology.

We hope you will join us in expanding the frontiers of psychological science and practice. We believe that we make a difference for students through our programs while they are here, and that they in turn make a difference for others as they go out into the world. We would be pleased at the prospect of your attendance at PAU.

• Why PAU?

The Palo Alto University and its partner, the De Anza - Foothill College District located in the Silicon Valley, one of the most dynamic economic areas in the country, have created an innovative Bachelor's degree completion program to facilitate the process for community college students wanting to transfer to a Bachelor's program and for individuals who already have a degree and wish to re-specialize in psychology in preparation for a new career or further study.

• After PAU
  According to the American Psychological Association, about 90,000 students graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology each year, and 95% of them are gainfully employed within six months. Five percent go on to graduate school, and the rest go into jobs directly.
