Hey guys,
I interviewed for Pacific U's PsyD program (not the Master's program), so if you have any specific questions, I'll definitely share my input; I'd think the interviews would be quite similar.
I was very, very impressed with the program - everything seemed really organized and well-established. They focus very strongly on multiculturalism, especially with the Latino demographic, so Spanish as a second language is a plus (they have something called the Iris Center, which is a clinic for those who speak Spanish as a first language).
There are great research opportunities, and even though most PsyD's aren't so interested in research, it's good to know there are options. Most of the practica takes place in the Psychological Services Center, which is completely run by the school if I remember correctly. Most of the clients at the PSC suffer from mental health issues - depression, anxiety, etc. (Another school I interviewed at had their practica at drug rehab centers and facilities for underpriviledged kids, more social work kind of stuff).
Faculty seems great, really friendly and warm. Most of the classes (for the PsyD at least, I'm not sure about the Master's) are in the Health Sciences building, which is a school for psychology, optometry, and dentistry. My impression was that they are primarily CBT, but also incorporate other theoretical orientations for a well-rounded education.
I hope all this info is correct, it was about a month ago that I was there. All in all, it seems like a great school! Hopefully you're still checking back to this thread and that this post is at least a little helpful for you. Good luck!
