Prior to attending Pacific Oaks College to finish my undergrad degree, I attended San Francisco State University. The child development program was impacted and the advisors did not care that I was finishing my second year without core classes available to take for the following year. My Aunt received her Masters from PO in Human Development and suggested I check it out. I love the curriculum, the professors and the support the school offers. I couldn't see myself receiving my Masters anywhere else than PO.
