California Pacific University, a private and independent California college, was founded in 1976 to provide alternative educational programs for adults whose responsibilities and commitments demonstrate they have the backgrounds of preparation for the attainment of business administration and management degrees through off-campus, distance learning programs.

Many students at California Pacific University are returning to the academic experience after some years away from the classroom. This can be stressful because school is often remembered as an arbitrary, trying routine of lectures and tests. These often seem far removed from real life and are punctuated by parking hassles, overcrowded classrooms and an unsympathetic bureaucracy and high tuition. Many students graduate from traditional colleges owing enormous sums of money on student loans. California Pacific University is a California college that believes that working adults have earned the right to leave this sort of treatment in the past.

The Distance Learning Program design at California Pacific University does not interfere with students' careers or remove them from their career environment. Rather, the student's participation in the program and the student's daily work provide the dynamic background for self-motivation, continuous professional activity and reevaluation and reconstruction of concepts for the purpose of enhancing understanding
